Database driver Select the appropriate database type. Connection options Specify the host, port, instance, user name, and password to use to connect to the database.
Table/View	After selecting a connection, specify the table or view to write to. Click the browse button ([...]) to go to the table or view that you want to use.
Listener	Specify the variable name that is set in the Oracle client tnsnames file. For example, this would be the variable name "DB1", that was set in step 3 example.

Runtime Tab


Option Name	Description
Load method	Specifies how you want to write data into the Oracle database. Append Adds the data into the target table without erasing the table's existing data. Insert Loads the data into the database. The table must be empty before it is loaded. It doesn't work on multiple runtime instances. Truncate and Insert Deletes existing rows if any, then loads the input data into the table. This does not work on multiple runtime instances.
Use direct path loader	Select this to load data directly into the Oracle database bypassing much of the data processing that normally takes place.
Unrecoverable	This check box is enabled when you select Use direct path loader. Select this if you do not want to write Redo logs in the database. For more information about Redo logs, see What Is the Redo Log? in the Oracle Database Administrator's Guide.
Log file folder	Specifies the path to the folder. Click the ellipses button (...) to browse to the folder you want. The log file contains a record of this stage's activities during a load session.
Bad file folder	Specifies the path to the folder. Click the ellipses button (...) to browse to the folder you want. The bad file contains a list of records that the stage fails to load into the database.
Maximum errors allowed	Specify the maximum number of errors to allow before halting the load operation. To halt the load operation on the first error, set value to 0. A maximum of 32767 errors are allowed.

Note: You can achieve significant performance improvements by using multiple runtime instances of this operation. To do this, click the Runtime button and enter the required value in the Runtime instances field.
