Open Table targets in mappings

When you configure a mapping in advanced mode to use an Open Table target, configure the target properties.

Specify the name and description of the Open Table target. Configure the target and advanced target properties for the Open Table object in a Target transformation.

The following table describes the properties that you can configure in a Target transformation:

Property	Description
Connection	Name of the target connection. You can select an existing connection, create a new connection, or define parameter values for the source connection property. If you want to overwrite the target connection properties at run time, select the Allow parameter to be overridden at run time option.
Target Type	Type of the Open Table target object. You can choose from the following source types: Single Object . Select to specify a single Open Table object. Parameter . Select to specify a parameter name. You can configure the target object in a mapping task associated with a mapping that uses this Target transformation.
Parameter	A parameter file where you define values that you want to update without having to edit the task. 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 target object at run time, select the Allow parameter to be overridden at run time option. When the task runs, the Secure Agent uses the parameters from the file that you specify in the advanced session properties.
Object	Name of the target object. You can select an existing object from the list or create a target object at run time. For information on creating the target object at run time, see the Create a target table at runtime topic. You cannot create a target object at runtime if you configure Hive Metastore catalog in the connection.
Operation	Type of the target operation. Select one of the following operations: Insert Update Upsert Delete You cannot configure the Data Driven operation on an Open Table target.
Update Columns	Select the unique key column as the condition field for the update, upsert, or delete operations in an Open Table target.

The following table describes the advanced properties that you can configure in a Target transformation:

Property	Description
Iceberg Spark Properties	The properties that you want to configure for the Iceberg tables. Enter the properties in the following format: <parameter name>=<parameter value> If you enter more than one property, enter each property in a new line. For example, BucketRegion=<bucket-region-name> When you configure update, upsert, or delete target operations and the source and target are in different regions, you need to set the bucket region property.
Delta Spark Properties	The properties that you want to configure for the Delta Lake tables. Enter the properties in the following format: <parameter name>=<parameter value> If you enter more than one property, enter each property in a new line. For example, BucketRegion=<bucket-region-name> When the source and target are in different regions, you need to set the bucket region property.
UpdateMode	Loads data to the target based on the mode you specify. This property applies when you select the Update or Upsert operation. Select one of the following modes: Update As Update. Updates records in the target table if the specified unique key column value matches with the incoming column value. Update Else Insert. Updates records in the target table if the specified unique key column value matches with the incoming column value. If the unique key column value does not match, the mapping inserts a new row with the records.
