Editing Extract Properties in Office 365 Data Point
To change the configuration for data extraction, click Extract Properties tab.
In the Canvas, Extract Type is set to the default extraction type JDBC.
- The extract properties can be set one time in the Admin module based on the company standards. Refer the page Editing Extract Properties for more details.
- The changes made to the properties in the data point automatically reflect to all the objects connected to this data point.
- Any extract properties that have been overridden in the dependent objects will not be effected by this change.
- During the execution of the job, the load command properties are defined automatically based on the values provided for the extract properties.
Based on the requirements, you can do the following:
- Change the default Property values, then a button appears beside the changed value and to revert click Reset to Default button.
- To rest all the values and set to accommodate general industry standards and data formats, click Reset All to Default link.
Note: To view specific property details, you can enter the keyword in the search bar, and the particular property details are displayed.
Extraction type: JDBC
| Property | Description | Default value | Other possible values |
|---|---|---|---|
Extraction Mode | The extraction mode can either be File or Pipe. Pipe option is used to stream the data directly from Source to Target. When File option is used then the data extracted from source is staged on the agent server before loading into the target. | File | Pipe |
File Type | Defines the format of extracted data. (Only delimited text format is supported) | Delimiter | |
Column Delimiter | Specifies the delimiter on the extracted file data. | ASCII 01 (SOH) | Any ASCII character |
LF in String | Specifies if the source data has new line characters or not, so that these new line characters can be identified separately during extraction and load from the row delimiter new line character. | ON | OFF |
Compression | Use this option to specify if the data needs to be compressed before transfer from source agent to Target load agent. | NO | YES |
Compression Type (Displays only when Compression is "Yes") | On choosing a compression format, the user is required to give the corresponding compression codec and compression type (Only default Compression Type is supported). | gzip | |
Encryption | Use this option to specify if the data needs to be encrypted before transfer from source agent to Target load agent. This option is also used when the target is file system and the generated file is required to be encrypted. This encryption is not dependent on source and target systems using same or different agent. For detailed information refer Setting up encryption keys at Agents. | NO | YES |
Encryption Type (Displays only when Encryption is "Yes") | When encryption is enabled then, user needs to specify the encryption algorithm to be used. AES can be used for symmetric key encryption. Choose from 128, 192 and 256 bit key sizes. PGP encryption can be used for asymmetric key encryption. | AES-128 | AES-192 AES-256 PGP |
Encrypted AES SecreteKey (Displays only when Encryption type is "AES") | Specify if the AES key is generated by using secret key or not. | NO | YES |
Null Value | Specifies what string literal should indicate the null value in the extracted data. During the data load the column value matching this string will be loaded as null in the target. | NULL | Any string literal |
Text Qualifier | Specify if the text columns in the source data needs to be enclosed in quotes. | Empty | Single Double |
Escape Character | The character immediately following the escape character is escaped. This needs to be specified if the text qualifier is provided and the text qualifier character can appear in the source data. | Empty | \\ (Recommended) Any ASCII character |
| Date Style | Specifies how to interpret the date format | YMD | MDY,DMY,DMONY,MONDY,Y2MD, MDY2, DMY2, DMONY2 and MONDY2 |
Date Delimiter | Specifies the separator used in the date format. (Only default delimiter is supported) | - | |
Time Style | Specifies the format of the time portion in the data. | 24HOUR | 12HOUR |
| Time Delimiter | Specifies the character used as separate the time components. (Only default delimiter is supported) | : | |
Decimal Delimiter | Specify the decimal delimiter for float/double/numeric data types. | EMPTY | . , |
