For bulk data movement sessions with writer partitions, you can specify certain session properties at the session level and at the partition level. These properties are optional.
At the session level, you can enter the following session properties for VSAM data sets:
Insert Only
Truncate Table Option
For individual partitions, you can enter the following session properties, including overrides, for either VSAM or sequential file targets:
File Name Override
Insert SQL Override
Post SQL
Pre SQL
For the
Pre SQL
session property, enter SQL statements that can be executed in each partition. If you enter a statement such as CREATEFILE that can be executed only once for the session, the session fails.
For more information about these properties, see
PowerExchange Interfaces for PowerCenter
.
Based on the
PWX Partition Strategy
session property and whether you specify the same or different partition-level session properties across the partitions, the joiner determines whether to use a single target connection or multiple target connections.
If you select
Single Connection
for the
PWX Partition Strategy
property, the session uses a single connection. If you enter session properties for the first partition only, the PowerCenter Integration Service applies the properties to all other partitions. If you specify different session properties across the partitions, the session fails.
If you select
Overrides Driven
and enter the same session properties for all partitions, the session uses a single connection to the target. If you enter different session properties for the partitions, the session uses multiple connections, one for each partition.
