SNP Glue™ Main Settings

Once the transaction /DVD/GL_SETT is executed, the screen with SNP Glue™ Main Settings will be opened and the following settings will be displayed:

File (Binary) storage settings 

Anchor
GL_SETT_BINARY_SETTINGS GL_SETT_BINARY_SETTINGS

This category of settings enables you to set up parameters for extraction to file storages like Microsoft Azure, GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and BigQuery, AWS S3, Hadoop or others.

• ALLOW_ZEROS: Allow glrequest to have leading zeros in filename. Input value: X = enabled. Default value: ''.
• BIN_DATA_FILE: Binary data file name. Input value: file name with placeholders. Supported placeholders are listed below. Default value: <GLUE_TABNAME>_<GLUE_REQUEST>. It is possible to create subfolders for example <LOAD_TYPE>/<GLUE_REQUEST>. This feature is not supported for BINFILE and Google cloud storage.
• BIN_EMPTY_LOAD_DATA_FILE: Indicates whether the (empty) data file should be generated for loads that contain no data e.g., empty delta load. Set the value = X in order to allow empty data files to transfer. 
• BIN_EMPTY_LOAD_METADATA: Indicates whether the metadata JSON file should be generated for loads that contain no data e.g., empty delta load. Set the value = X in order to allow the generation of metadata files for these loads.
• BIN_REQUEST_METADATA_FILE: Binary request metadata file name. Input value: file name with placeholders. Supported placeholders are listed below. Default value: <GLUE_TABNAME>_<GLUE_REQUEST>.
• BIN_TABLE_METADATA_FILE: Binary table metadata file name. Input value: file name with placeholders. Supported placeholders are listed below. Default value: <GLUE_TABNAME>_<TIMESTAMP>.
• SEL_DEL_FILE_NAME: Name of the files created by soft selective deletion. Input value: file name with placeholders. Supported placeholders are listed below. Default value:  <GLUE_TABNAME>_<GLUE_REQUEST>_SEL_DEL.
• DELTA_LAKE_REPEAT: Number of the table lock attempts during delta lake JSON creation.
• DELTA_LAKE_REPEAT_DELAY: Number of seconds to wait between locking attempts during delta lake JSON creation.

If an unsupported placeholder is used, a warning message is displayed.

• MASS_APPEND_PART_VALUE - Mass Execution: Append partitioning value to the filename: If set to X, the value used to split data into partitions via (Glue-2408) Mass Execution functionality is appended at the end of the filename. 

  Note
  This functionality uses only the first value of the select option and handles just single values and intervals. Therefore, we do not recommend using it in case the complex select-option values are expected for the partitioning field.

  
  

Extractor 2.0 settings

Category of settings related to Extractor 2.0 objects. For more information about the Extractor 2.0 concept refer to the documentation (Glue-2408) Extractor 2.0 Objects.

• ALLOW_DELTA_DURING_FULL_LOAD: Allows execution of delta load when repair full load (without delta init) is running. Input value: X = enabled. Default value: space.
• EXT2_CUSTOM_LIB_INCL: Custom libraries include in Extractor 2.0. Input value: name of INCLUDE. Default value: space. In order to specify more than one include, use the semicolon (';') as a separator, e.g. ZDVD_INCLUDE1;ZDVD_INCLUDE2;ZDVD_INCLUDE3.
• EXT2_DEF_START_RT_CODE: Default start routine code in Extractor 2.0. Input value: ABAP code. Default value: space.
• EXT2_DEF_END_RT_CODE: Default end routine code in Extractor 2.0. Input value: ABAP code. Default value: space.
• ENABLE_DATA_VALIDATION: Displays the Data Validation checkbox in Extraction Process reports, which use SNP Glue™ Consumers. When the checkbox is checked, data extracted to the storage will be verified with the source data using the XOR hash function. Based on the type of target storage the data will be either verified by packages after every write operation or at the end of the extraction. Input value: X = enabled. Default value: space.
  Please note, that while this will prove that the load was successful and consistent, it will also slow down the data extraction process.
• EXT2_ENHANCED_LOGS: Enhanced logging messages for Extractor 2.0 objects when marked. Input value: X = enabled. Default value: space.
• SAP_FETCHER_READ_ALL_CLIENTS: Enables Read all clients functionality for SAP Table Fetcher.  Input value: X = enabled. Default value: space.

FIFO settings

Category of settings related to FIFO object types.

• FIFO_MAX_LOCKS: Maximum number of locks that can be used to process queue CLUIDs. Input value: Integer. Default value: space. The recommendation is to calculate the value by dividing the number of locks on the system by the number of background jobs that can be used by GLUE.
• FIFO_FETCHER_COMMIT_BATCH_SIZE: Batch size to process queue CLUIDs in Fetcher commit phase. Input value: Integer. Default value: 1000
