Striim Platform 5.0 documentation

Account Access Key

String

the account access key for the storage account from Storage accounts > <account name> > Access keys

Account Name

String

the storage account name

CDDL Action

String

Process

See Handling schema evolution.

If TRUNCATE commands may be entered in the source and you do not want to delete events in the target, precede the writer with a CQ with the select statement ELECT * FROM <input stream name> WHERE META(x, OperationName).toString() != 'Truncate'; (replacing <input stream name> with the name of the writer's input stream). Note that there will be no record in the target that the affected events were deleted.

When Optimized Merge is True, CREATE statements will cause the application to halt.

Client Configuration

String

If using a proxy, specify ProxyHost=<host name or IP address>,ProxyPort=<port number>.

Column Delimiter

String

|

If the data to be written may contain the default column delimiter (ASCII / UTF-8 124), specify a different delimiter that will never appear in the data.

Connection Retry Policy

String

initialRetryDelay=10s, retryDelayMultiplier=2, maxRetryDelay=1m, maxAttempts=10, totalTimeout=10m

With the default setting, if a connection attempt is unsuccessful, the adapter will try again in 10 seconds (InitialRetryDelay=10s). If the second attempt is unsuccessful, in 20 seconds it will try a third time (InitialRetryDelay=10s multiplied by retryDelayMultiplier=2). If that fails, the adapter will try again in 40 seconds (the previous retry interval 20s multiplied by 2). If connection attempts continue to fail, the the adapter will try again every 60 seconds (maxRetryDelay=1m) until a total of 10 connection attempts have been made (maxAttempts=10), after which the adapter will halt and log an exception.

The adapter will halt when either maxAttempts or totalTimeout is reached.

InitialRetryDelay, maxRetryDelay, and totalTimeout may be specified in milliseconds (ms), seconds (s, the default), or minutes (m).

If retryDelayMultiplier is set to 1, connection will be attempted on the fixed interval set by InitialRetryDelay.

To disable connection retry, set maxAttempts=0.

Negative values are not supported.

Connection URL

String

the JDBC connection URL for Azure Synapse, in the format jdbc:sqlserver://<fully qualified server name>:<port>;database=<SQL pool name>, for example, jdbc:sqlserver://mysqldw.database.windows.net:1433;database=mydb

Alternatively, you may use Active Directory authentication (see Supporting Active Directory authentication for Azure).

Excluded Tables

String

If Tables uses a wildcard, data from any tables specified here will be omitted. Multiple table names (separated by semicolons) and wildcards may be used exactly as for Tables.

Ignorable Exception Code

String

Set to TABLE_NOT_FOUND to prevent the application from terminating when Striim tries to write to a table that does not exist in the target. See Handling "table not found" errors for more information.

Ignored exceptions will be written to the application's exception store (see CREATE EXCEPTIONSTORE).

Merge API

String

STRIIM_MERGE

Mode

String

MERGE

With the default value of MERGE, inserts and deletes in the source are handled as inserts and deletes in the target (as detailed in the notes for Merge API).

Set to APPENDONLY to handle all operations as inserts. With this setting:

Optimized Merge

Boolan

False

Not supported when Merge API is STRIIM_MERGE.

Set to True only when Mode is MERGE and the target's input stream is the output of an HP NonStop reader, or Oracle Reader source and the source events will include partial records. For HP NonStop, “partial records” means AUDITCOMPRESS on; and for Oracle it means ALTER DATABASE ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (PRIMARY KEY) COLUMNS; (rather than ALTER DATABASE ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (ALL) COLUMNS;).

Set to True also when the source is Oracle Reader and the source table includes BLOB or CLOB columns

When Optimized Merge is True, CDDL CREATE statements will cause the application to halt.

Parallel Threads

Integer

See Creating multiple writer instances (parallel threads). Not supported when Mode is MERGE.

Password

encrypted password

The password for the specified user. See Encrypted passwords.

Storage Access Driver Type

String

WASBS

Set to ABFS if you are using an Azure Data Lake Storage instance for staging the data, or if you are using a general-purpose blob storage instance connected to Synapse using VNet or across a firewall. (See The Azure Blob Filesystem driver (ABFS) for more information.)

Leave at the default setting WASBS if using a general-purpose V1 or V2 blob storage account without VNet or a firewall.

Tables

String

Specify the name(s) of the table(s) to write to, in the format <database>.<schema>.<table>.

If the source is Database Reader and its Create Schema property is True, the specified schema(s) and table(s) will be created in the target (see the discussion of Create Schema in Database Reader properties for more details). Otherwise, the table(s) must exist in the target when the application is started, and if a specified target table does not exist, the application will terminate with an error. To skip writes to missing tables without terminating, specify TABLE_NOT_FOUND as an Ignorable Exception Code.

When the target's input stream is a user-defined event, specify a single table.

If the source table has no primary key, you may use the KeyColumns option to define a unique identifier for each row in the target table: for example, Tables:'sourcedb.emp,mydb.mySchema.emp KeyColumns(emp)'. The target table must be specified with a three-part name. If necessary to ensure uniqueness, specify multiple columns with the syntax KeyColumns(<column 1>,<column 2>,...). You may use wildcards for the source table, provided all the tables have the key columns: for example, Tables:'sourcedb.%,mydb.myschema.% KeyColumns(...)'. If the source has no primary key and KeyColumns is not specified, the concatenated value of all source fields is used as the primary key in the target.

When the input stream of the target is the output of a DatabaseReader, IncrementalBatchReader, or SQL CDC source (that is, when replicating data from one database to another), it can write to multiple tables. In this case, specify the names of both the source and target tables. You may use the % wildcard only for tables, not for schemas or databases. If the reader uses three-part names, you must use them here as well. Note that Oracle CDB/PDB source table names must be specified in two parts when the source is Database Reader or Incremental Batch reader (schema.%,schema.%) but in three parts when the source is Oracle Reader or OJet ((database.schema.%,schema.%). Note that SQL Server source table names must be specified in three parts when the source is Database Reader or Incremental Batch Reader (database.schema.%,schema.%) but in two parts when the source is MS SQL Reader or MS Jet (schema.%,schema.%). Examples:

source.emp,target.emp
source.db1,target.db1;source.db2,target.db2
source.%,target.%
source.mydatabase.emp%,target.mydb.%
source1.%,target1.%;source2.%,target2.%

MySQL and Oracle names are case-sensitive, SQL Server names are not. Specify names as <schema name>.<table name> for MySQL and Oracle and as <database name>.<schema name>.<table name> for SQL Server.

See Mapping columns for additional options.

Upload Policy

String

eventcount:10000, interval:5m

The upload policy may include eventcount and/or interval (see Setting output names and rollover / upload policies for syntax). Cached data is written to the storage account every time any of the specified values is exceeded. With the default value, data will be written every five minutes or sooner if the cache contains 10,000 events. When the app is undeployed, all remaining data is written to the storage account.

Username

String

the user name Striim will use to log in to the Azure Synapse specified in ConnectionURL
