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

File (Binary) storage settings

This category of settings enables you to setup parameters for extraction to file storages like /wiki/spaces/ReuseLib/pages/701071414, GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and BigQuery, AWS S3, Hadoop or others.

BIN_TABLE_METADATA_FILE - Binary table metadata file name. Input value: file name with placeholders. Supported placeholders listed below. Default value: <GLUE_TABNAME>_<TIMESTAMP>.

Placeholder	Replaced with
<TIMESTAMP>	Current timestamp
<DATE>	Current date
<USERNAME>	Current user
<GLUE_TABNAME>	Glue table name
<GLUE_REQUEST>	Glue extraction request
<GLUE_CR_DATE>	Glue table creation date
<GLUE_CR_TIME>	Glue table creation time

MASS_APPEND_PART_VALUE - Mass Execution: Append partitioning value to filename: If set to 'X', the value used to split data into partition via (Glue-2005) Mass Execution functionality is appended at the end of the filename.

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