Description

Example Value

Basic parameters

Bucket Name

Name of the bucket from which data will be migrated

BUCKET_2

Source Directory/File

This parameter is available only when Pull List File is set to No.

Directory or file path from which data will be extracted. You can enter a maximum of 50 file paths. By default, the file paths are separated by vertical bars (|). You can also customize a file separator. For details, see Migration of a List of Files.

Directory from which data is to be migrated. All files (including all nested subdirectories and their subfiles) in the directory will be migrated.

This parameter can be configured as a macro variable of date and time and a path name can contain multiple macro variables. When the macro variable of date and time works with a scheduled job, the incremental data can be synchronized periodically. For details, see Incremental Synchronization Using the Macro Variables of Date and Time.

NOTE:

If you have configured a macro variable of date and time and schedule a CDM job through DataArts Studio DataArts Factory, the system replaces the macro variable of date and time with (Planned start time of the data development jobOffset) rather than (Actual start time of the CDM jobOffset).

FROM/example.csv

File Format

Format in which CDM parses data. The options are as follows:
  • CSV: Source files will be migrated to tables after being converted to CSV format.
  • Binary: Files (even not in binary format) will be transferred directly. It is used for file copy.
  • JSON: Source files will be migrated to tables after being converted to JSON format.

CSV

Pull List File

This parameter is displayed only when File Format is set to Binary.

If the pull list file function is enabled, the content of a file (such as a .txt file) in an OBS bucket can be read as the list of files to be migrated. The content in the file must be the absolute path of the file to be migrated (rather than a directory). For example, the content is as follows:

/052101/DAY20211110.data

/052101/DAY20211111.data

Yes

OBS Link of List File

This parameter is available only when Pull List File is set to Yes. You can select the OBS link where the list file is located.

OBS_test_link

OBS Bucket of entries files

This parameter is available only when Pull List File is set to Yes. It indicates the name of the OBS bucket where the list file is located.

01

Path/Directory of entries files

This parameter is available only when Pull List File is set to Yes. It indicates the absolute path or directory of the list file in the OBS bucket.

You are advised to select the absolute path of the file. If you select a directory, files in subdirectories can also be migrated. However, if the number of files in the directory is too large, the cluster memory may become insufficient.

/0521/Lists.txt

JSON Type

This parameter is displayed only when File Format is set to JSON. Type of a JSON object stored in a JSON file. The options are JSON object and JSON array.

JSON object

JSON Reference Node

This parameter is used only when File Format is set to JSON and JSON Type is set to JSON Object. CDM parses the data under the JSON node. If the node's corresponding data is a JSON array, the system will extract data from the array in the same pattern. Use periods (.) to separate multi-layer nested JSON nodes.

data.list

Advanced attributes

Line Separator

Lind feed character in a file. By default, the system automatically identifies \n, \r, and \r\n. This parameter is displayed only when File Format is set to CSV.

\n

Field Delimiter

Character used to separate fields in the file. To set the Tab key as the delimiter, set this parameter to \t. This parameter is displayed only when File Format is set to CSV.

,

Use Quote Character

If you set this parameter to Yes, the field delimiters in the encircling symbol are regarded as a part of the string value. Currently, the default encircling symbol of CDM is ".

No

Using Escape Char

If you select Yes, the backslash (\) in the data row is used as an escape character. If you select No, the backslash (\) in the CSV file will not be escaped. CSV supports only the backslash (\) as the escape character.

Yes

Use RE to Separate Fields

Whether to use regular expressions to separate fields. If you set this parameter to Yes, Field Delimiter becomes invalid. This parameter is displayed only when File Format is set to CSV.

Yes

Regular Expression

Regular expression used to separate fields. For details about regular expressions, see Regular Expressions for Separating Semi-structured Text.

^(\d.*\d) (\w*) \[(.*)\] ([\w\.]*) (\w.*).*

Use First N Rows as Header

This parameter is displayed only when File Format is set to CSV. When you migrate a CSV file to a table, CDM writes all data to the table by default. If you set this parameter to Yes, CDM uses the first N rows of the CSV file as the heading row and does not write the row to the destination table.

No

The Number of Header Rows

This parameter is available when Use First N Rows as Header is set to Yes. It specifies the number of header rows to be skipped during data extraction.

NOTE:

The number of header rows cannot be empty. The value is an integer from 1 to 99.

1

Extract first row as columns

This parameter is available when Use First N Rows as Header is set to Yes. It specifies whether to parse the first row of the header as a column name. The column name is displayed in the source field during field mapping configuration.

NOTE:
  • If the number of header rows is greater than 1, only the first row of the header can be parsed as the column name.
  • The column name cannot contain the ampersand (&). Otherwise, the job migration fails. If the column name contains the ampersand (&), you must change it in the CSV file to ensure successful migration.

Yes

Encoding Type

Encoding type, for example, UTF-8 or GBK. You can set the encoding type for text files only. This parameter is invalid when File Format is set to Binary.

GBK

Compression Format

The options are as follows:
  • NONE: Files in all formats can be transferred.
  • GZIP: Only files in gzip format can be transferred.
  • ZIP: Only files in Zip format can be transferred.
  • TAR.GZ: Files in TAR.GZ format are transferred.

NONE

Compressed File Suffix

This parameter is displayed when Compression Format is not NONE.

This parameter specifies the extension of the files to be decompressed. The decompression operation is performed only when the file name extension is used in a batch of files. Otherwise, files are transferred in the original format. If you enter * or leave the parameter blank, all files are decompressed.

*

Start Job by Marker File

Whether to start a job by a marker file. A job is only started if there is a marker file for starting the job in the source path. If there is no marker file, the job will be suspended for a period of time specified by Suspension Period.

No

Marker File

Name of the marker file for starting a job. If you specify a marker file, the migration job is executed only when the marker file exists in the source path. The marker file will not be migrated.

ok.txt

Suspension Period

Waiting period for a marker file. If you set Start Job by Marker File to Yes but there is no marker file in the source path, the job fails when the suspension period times out.

If you set this parameter to 0 and there is no marker file in the source path, the job will fail immediately.

Unit: second

10

File Separator

File separator. If you enter multiple file paths in Source Directory/Files, CDM uses the file separator to identify files. The default value is |.

|

Filter Type

Only paths or files that meet the filtering conditions are transferred. The options are None, Wildcard, and Regex. For details, see Incremental File Migration.

Wildcard

Directory Filter

If you set Filter Type to Wildcard or Regex, enter a wildcard character to filter paths. The paths that meet the filtering condition are migrated. You can configure multiple paths separated by commas (,).

NOTE:

If you have configured a macro variable of date and time and schedule a CDM job through DataArts Studio DataArts Factory, the system replaces the macro variable of date and time with (Planned start time of the data development jobOffset) rather than (Actual start time of the CDM jobOffset).

*input

File Filter

If you set Filter Type to Wildcard or Regex, you can enter a wildcard character to search for files in a specified path. The files that meet the search criteria are migrated. You can configure multiple files separated by commas (,).

NOTE:

If you have configured a macro variable of date and time and schedule a CDM job through DataArts Studio DataArts Factory, the system replaces the macro variable of date and time with (Planned start time of the data development jobOffset) rather than (Actual start time of the CDM jobOffset).

*.csv,*.txt

Time Filter

If you select Yes, files are transferred based on their modification time.

Yes

Minimum Timestamp

If you set Filter Type to Time Filter, and specify a point in time for this parameter, only the files modified at or after the specified time are transferred. The time format must be yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.

This parameter can be set to a macro variable of date and time. For example, ${timestamp(dateformat(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,-90,DAY))} indicates that only files generated within the latest 90 days are migrated.

NOTE:

If you have configured a macro variable of date and time and schedule a CDM job through DataArts Studio DataArts Factory, the system replaces the macro variable of date and time with (Planned start time of the data development jobOffset) rather than (Actual start time of the CDM jobOffset).

2019-06-01 00:00:00

Maximum Timestamp

If you set Filter Type to Time Filter, and specify a point in time for this parameter, only the files modified before the specified time are transferred. The time format must be yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.

This parameter can be set to a macro variable of date and time. For example, ${timestamp(dateformat(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss))} indicates that only the files whose modification time is earlier than the current time are migrated.

NOTE:

If you have configured a macro variable of date and time and schedule a CDM job through DataArts Studio DataArts Factory, the system replaces the macro variable of date and time with (Planned start time of the data development jobOffset) rather than (Actual start time of the CDM jobOffset).

2019-07-01 00:00:00

Disregard Non-existent Path or File

If this is set to Yes, the job can be successfully executed even if the source path does not exist.

No

MD5 File Extension

This parameter is displayed only when File Format is set to Binary.

This parameter is used to check whether the files extracted by CDM are consistent with source files. For details, see MD5 Verification.

.md5

  1. CDM supports incremental file migration (by skipping repeated files), but does not support resumable transfer.

    For example, if three files are to be migrated and the second file fails to be migrated due to the network fault. When the migration task is started again, the first file is skipped. The second file, however, cannot be migrated from the point where the fault occurs, but can only be migrated again.

  2. During file migration, a single task supports millions of files. If there are too many files in the directory to be migrated, you are advised to split the files into different directories and create multiple tasks.
