Global Step

Introduction

The global step is unique and optional. It defines default values that are automatically applied to any specific steps that omit those values. All properties are optional.

Properties

Property nameDescriptionValuesDefault value
multithreadNumber of threads to use for parallel stepsInteger
  • Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors() - 1
  • 1 if only one processor is available
encodingEncoding to considerer when reading filesStringUTF-8
path.exe.oracleThis property specifies the execution path for OracleStringNone
path.exe.mssqlThis property specifies the execution path for MSSQLStringNone
sqlmodel.pathPath of the SQL Model JSON file. It can be absolute or relative path      
The SQL MODEL file (sqlModel.json) contains all DB2 objects extracted from DDL files. It's generated automatically during the transformation and automatically stored in your project's database folder.		Stringdatabase/SQLMODEL.json

Example

The following configuration illustrates a global step configuration for Data Migrator

[Global]
multithread=5
sqlmodel.path=projectTest/SQLMODEL.json
encoding=CP037

With this configuration, by default, all steps will use:

  • 5 threads for processing
  • projectTest/SQLMODEL.json to locate the SQL Model JSON file
  • CP037 for character encoding.
