Input Properties of a Data Object Write Operation

Input Properties of a Data Object Write Operation

The input properties represent the data that the Data Integration Service passes into the mapping pipeline. Select the input properties to edit the port properties of the data object write operation. You can also specify advanced data object write operation properties to load data into SAS data sets.
The input properties of the data object write operation include general properties that apply to the data object write operation. They also include port, source, and advanced properties that apply to the data object write operation.
You can view and change the input properties of the data object write operation from the
General
,
Ports
,
Sources
, and
Advanced
tabs.

General Properties

The general properties list the name and description of the data object write operation.

Ports Properties

The input ports properties list the data types, precision, and scale of the data object write operation.
You can configure the following input ports properties in a data object write operation:
Name
Name of the port.
Type
Data type of the port.
Precision
Maximum number of significant digits for numeric data types or maximum number of characters for string data types. For numeric data types, precision includes scale.
Scales
Maximum number of digits after the decimal point for numeric values.
Description
Description of the port.

Targets Properties

The target properties list the SAS data sets in the data object write operation.

Advanced Properties

The advanced properties allow you to specify the data object write operation properties to load data into SAS data sets.
You can configure the following advanced properties in the data object write operation:
Load Type
Configure the load type for the target.
Trace
Boolean property to implement the SAS trace option. Use the SAS trace option to toggle verbose logging.
Compress
Boolean property to implement the SAS compress option. When you enable the SAS compress option, target SAS data sets will be stored with compressed content.
PreSASCode and PostSASCode
Facilitates the invocation of a SAS Macro or a SAS %include statement to be executed just before or just after the loading of the SAS target object. The SPI Server must be configured to allow the execution of SAS exits. The SAS Macro to be invoked must be defined in the autoexec.sas file that is part of the SPI Server configuration.
Index Name (For Update Strategy)
Name of the index that defines the composite key to be used for the load type 'update-else-insert'. This option is used only in the case of a composite key.
