Specify the name and description of the Google Cloud Storage V2 target. You can configure the target and advanced properties for the target object.

The following table describes the properties that you can configure for a Google Cloud Storage V2 target:

Property	Description
Connection	Name of the Google Cloud Storage V2 target connection. Select a source connection, or click New Parameter to define a new parameter for the source connection. If you want to overwrite the parameter at runtime, select the Allow parameter to be overridden at run time option when you create a parameter. When the task runs, the agent uses the parameters from the file that you specify in the task advanced session properties.
Target Type	Type of the Google Cloud Storage target objects available. You can write data to a single target object or parameterize Google Cloud Storage target object. You cannot write data to multiple objects.
Object	Name of the Google Cloud Storage file. Ensure that the column names in the target object do not begin with special characters to successfully write data to the target.
Parameter	Select an existing parameter for the target object or click New Parameter to define a new parameter for the target object. The Parameter property appears only if you select Parameter as the target type. If you want to overwrite the parameter at runtime, select the Allow parameter to be overridden at run time option when you create a parameter. When the task runs, the agent uses the parameters from the file that you specify in the task advanced session properties.

The target name can contain alphanumeric characters. You can use the following special characters in the file name: ., _, @, $, % If you specify the path, the Secure Agent creates the target object in the path you specify in this property. The Secure Agent creates the target object in the following path: <bucket_name>/<path_name>/<target_object_name> You cannot parameterize the target at runtime. When you create a mapping in advanced mode, you can use the CreateTarget option only for Avro, JSON, and Parquet format.
Format	Specifies the file format that the Google Cloud Storage V2 Connector uses to write data to Google Cloud Storage. You can select the following file format types: Flat Avro Parquet JSON Orc¹ None² If you select None is as the format type, Google Cloud Storage V2 Connector writes data to Google Cloud Storage files in binary format.
