ETL Job

Functions

The ETL Job node is used to extract data from a specified data source, preprocess the data, and import the data to the target data source.

The destination is the ETL Job node of DWS and does not support scheduling using an agency. You are advised to use a public IAM account with better compatibility for scheduling. For details, see Configuring a Scheduling Identity.

Parameters

Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3 describe the parameters of the ETL Job node.

Table 1 Parameters of Transform Load nodes

Parameter

Mandatory

Description

Node Name

Yes

Name of a node. The name must contain 1 to 128 characters, including only letters, numbers, underscores (_), hyphens (-), slashes (/), less-than signs (<), and greater-than signs (>).

ETL Configuration

Yes

Click to edit the source and destination data to be transformed.

The supported source data types are DLI, OBS and MySQL.

  • When the source data type is DLI, the supported destination data types are DWS, GES, CSS, OBS, and DLI.
  • When the source data type is MySQL, the supported destination data type is MySQL.
  • When the source data type is OBS, the supported destination data can be of the DLI type and the DWS type.
NOTICE:
  • Data transformation from DLI to DWS:

    Before importing data from DataArts Factory to DWS, ensure that a DWS data connection and a table have been created.

    Before importing data from DLI to DWS, ensure that a DWS table have been created.

  • Data transformation from DLI to CSS:

    Before importing data from DLI to CSS, ensure that a cross-source connection associated with CSS has been created on DLI. For details about how to create a cross-source connection on DLI, see Data Lake Insight User Guide.

Configure SQL Template

No

Click Obtain Template to obtain an SQL template.

Table 2 Advanced parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Description

Max. Node Execution Duration

Yes

Execution timeout interval for the node. If retry is configured and the execution is not complete within the timeout interval, the node will be executed again.

Retry upon Failure

Yes

Whether to re-execute a node if it fails to be executed. Possible values:

  • Yes: The node will be re-executed, and the following parameters must be configured:
    • Retry upon Timeout
    • Maximum Retries
    • Retry Interval (seconds)
  • No: The node will not be re-executed. This is the default setting.
    NOTE:

    If retry is configured for a job node and the timeout duration is configured, the system allows you to retry a node when the node execution times out.

    If a node is not re-executed when it fails upon timeout, you can go to the Default Configuration page to modify this policy.

    Retry upon Timeout is displayed only when Retry upon Failure is set to Yes.

Policy for Handling Subsequent Nodes If the Current Node Fails

Yes

Operation that will be performed if the node fails to be executed. Possible values:

  • Suspend execution plans of the subsequent nodes: stops running subsequent nodes. The job instance status is Failed.
  • End the current job execution plan: stops running the current job. The job instance status is Failed.
  • Go to the next node: ignores the execution failure of the current node. The job instance status is Failure ignored.
  • Suspend the current job execution plan: If the current job instance is in abnormal state, the subsequent nodes of this node and the subsequent job instances that depend on the current job are in waiting state.

Enable Dry Run

No

If you select this option, the node will not be executed, and a success message will be returned.
