Output Properties of a Data Object Read Operation

General Properties

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

Ports Properties

The output ports properties list the data types, precision, and scale of the data object read operation.
You configure the following output ports properties in a data object read 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.

Source Properties

The sources properties list the SAS data sets in the data object read operation.

Query Properties

The Query properties allow you to specify Filter and Join conditions in the data object read operation.
You can configure the following Query properties:
Filter
The Filter type defined for a SAS source. You can specify a where clause condition while reading the SAS data.
Join
The Join type defined for a SAS source. This is an optional property.

Advanced Properties

The advanced properties allow you to specify data object read operation properties to read data into SAS data sets.
You can configure the following advanced properties in the data object read operation:
Trace
Boolean property to implement the SAS trace option. Use the SAS trace option to toggle verbose logging.
PreSASCode and PostSASCode
Facilitates the invocation of a SAS Macro or a SAS %include statement to be executed just before or just after the reading of the SAS Source 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.
Table Name
The name of the table to read from SAS.
Library Name
The library name associated with the SAS table from which the Data Integration Service reads the data.
SAS File Path
The path to the directory that contains the SAS file from where the Data Integration Service can read data directly.
Source File Type
Determines whether the Data Integration Service reads data from a file or from a file list.
You can select from the following options to read data:
  • Direct. Reads data from a SAS file you specify.
  • Indirect. Reads data from a SAS file list you specify.
SAS File List
The name of the file list .txt file that contains a list of SAS files from which to read data. The Data Integration Service reads data from the file list .txt file that is available in the path you specify in
SAS File Path
 field.
Within the .txt file, you can specify either the name of the SAS file or the full path where the SAS file is available on the Informatica server machine. When you do not specify a path for the SAS file in the file list, the Integration Service searches for the SAS file you specify in the
SAS File Path
 field.
Encoding
Determines the encoding format of the SAS table or SAS file.
You can select from the following supported encoding formats to read data:
  • English
  • Shift-JIS
  • UTF-8
