Flows properties allow you to view or set properties that apply to the entire data flow. These include:
Specify flow properties in the flow properties pane by clicking the Properties button in the Data Flow or Process Flows tabs.
The flow properties pane opens.
To access the flow properties pane, click Properties in the Insert group on the Flow tab.
The General attribute section of the flow properties pane has the following fields and options.
Is a description of the flow. You can enter up to 150 characters. Descriptions appear in the navigation pane next to the flow name.
Are comments regarding the flow.
This page also provides information on the flow name, the user who created the flow, and the date it was last modified.
The flow properties pane opens.
You can stop processing after a specific number of DBMS errors or if no data is returned.
To access the flow properties pane, click Properties in the Insert group on the Flow tab.
The Execution attribute section of the flow properties pane has the following fields and options:
When selected, a flow will continue to run, even if an error is generated.
Causes the flow to fail with a non-zero return code if the number of errors specified is exceeded. Applies to relational targets when Insert/Update or Insert records from memory is used. Any rows written to the RDBMS are committed to the RDBMS. The default value is 10000000, unless this is overridden in the Run Options found in the Tools group of the Home tab.
A relational database may return an error for a constraint violation, such as a Unique Index constraint, a Not Null constraint, or a user-specified constraint.
If such errors are not expected, you may want to fix their cause without waiting for the entire flow to be processed. Using a low value, such as 10, can provide enough information to determine the cause of the problem, without running the entire job.
If such errors are expected, and you want to continue processing anyway, use a high value, one greater than the number of records in the source, or do not select the Stop processing after check box.
Note: When using the Load Type setting of Bulkload utility using a disk file, this setting is not used.
Allows you to stop processing if no data is returned. When this option is selected, and no data is returned, code 18708 occurs.
The flow properties pane opens.
To access the flow properties pane, click Properties in the Insert group on the Flow tab.
The Restart attribute section of the flow properties pane has the following fields and options.
Is the number of times a flow will be restarted if the execution fails.
Note: The amount of time between restart attempts can be set for the server. The default value is 60 seconds. For more information, see Setting Up DataMigrator.
Is the point from which the next attempt will be made. The options are Beginning or Last Commit.
Note: Last Commit cannot be used for flat file, delimited file, or XML targets. Last Commit can only be used for existing targets, and cannot be used with Prior to Load Options of Delete all rows from table, Truncate table, or Drop table.
Note: Your DataMigrator Server must be configured for email notification to use this option.
The flow properties pane opens.
The options are to send an email:
on start - when a flow is executed.
on end - when a flow execution is successfully completed.
on failure - when an error terminates a flow execution.
Note: The email for a flow end or a failed flow will include the log file for the flow.
To access the flow properties pane for email, right-click the Start object in a Process Flow and click Properties.
E-Mail On Start, E-Mail On Completion, and E-Mail On Failure all have the following fields and options:
The email addresses to which the messages will be sent. Place each email address (or user ID configured on the server with an associated email address) on a new line with no separators.
You can send the messages to email addresses defined in the procedure by either typing in the location of the procedure, or clicking the ellipses and manually selecting it from the Select Procedure dialog box.
Select this to enable when an email should be sent.
Select this option to get the following options:
Note: Your DataMigrator Server must be configured for email notification in order to use this option. See How to Configure the Server for Email Notification.
The flow properties pane opens.
The options are:
To access the flow properties pane, click Properties in the Insert group on the Flow tab.
The Record Logging attribute section of the flow properties pane has the following fields and options:
Logs transactions rejected by an RDBMS due to a constraint violation or data type error. For flat file targets, format errors are also recorded.
Logs transactions rejected due to a duplicate key.
Logs transactions rejected for not meeting a VALIDATE condition
Logs transactions rejected when a required key is not found.
Logs transactions rejected due to a format error. Format errors only apply to Direct Load Flows.
Logs transactions that were accepted.
Logs all transactions.
