Properties Tab

Properties Tab

Configure the SQL transformation general properties on the Properties tab. Some transformation properties do not apply to the SQL transformation or are not configurable.
The following table describes the SQL transformation properties:
Property
Description
RunTime Location
Location that contains the DLL or shared library.
Enter a path relative to the Integration Service node that runs the SQL transformation session.
If this property is blank, the Integration Service uses the environment variable defined on the Integration Service node to locate the DLL or shared library.
You must copy all DLLs or shared libraries to the run-time location or to the environment variable defined on the Integration Service node. The Integration Service fails to load the procedure when it cannot locate the DLL, shared library, or a referenced file.
Tracing Level
Sets the amount of detail included in the session log when you run a session containing this transformation. When you configure the SQL transformation tracing level to Verbose Data, the Integration Service writes each SQL query it prepares to the session log.
IsPartitionable
Multiple partitions in a pipeline can use this transformation. Use the following options:
  • No. The transformation cannot be partitioned. The transformation and other transformations in the same pipeline are limited to one partition. You might choose No if the transformation processes all the input data together, such as data cleansing.
  • Locally. The transformation can be partitioned, but the Integration Service must run all partitions in the pipeline on the same node. Choose Locally when different partitions of the transformation must share objects in memory.
  • Across Grid. The transformation can be partitioned, and the Integration Service can distribute each partition to different nodes.
Default is No.
Update Strategy Transformation
The transformation defines the update strategy for output rows. You can enable this property for query mode SQL transformations.
Default is disabled.
Transformation Scope
The method in which the Integration Service applies the transformation logic to incoming data. Use the following options:
  • Row
  • Transaction
  • All Input
Set transaction scope to transaction when you use transaction control in static query mode.
Default is Row for script mode transformations.
Default is All Input for query mode transformations.
Output is Repeatable
Indicates if the order of the output data is consistent between session runs.
  • Never. The order of the output data is inconsistent between session runs.
  • Based On Input Order. The output order is consistent between session runs when the input data order is consistent between session runs.
  • Always. The order of the output data is consistent between session runs even if the order of the input data is inconsistent between session runs.
Default is Never.
Generate Transaction
The transformation generates transaction rows. Enable this property for query mode SQL transformations that commit data in an SQL query.
Default is disabled.
Requires Single Thread Per Partition
Indicates if the Integration Service processes each partition of a procedure with one thread.
Output is Deterministic
The transformation generates consistent output data between session runs. Enable this property to perform recovery on sessions that use this transformation. Default is enabled.
If you configure a transformation as repeatable and deterministic, it is your responsibility to ensure that the data is repeatable and deterministic. If you try to recover a session with transformations that do not produce the same data between the session and the recovery, the recovery process can result in corrupted data.
