A convenience attribute for use with the default CSV Reader. Specifies the line separator character (or record separator character) in the CSV file. The default value is the new line character. The lineDelimiter cannot appear in the content of a token.

tokenDelimiter String No comma character: ‘,’

A convenience attribute for use with the default CSV Reader. Specifies the token separator character for one record. The default is the comma character: ‘,’.

tokenValueDelimiter String No The double quote character: ‘”’.

A convenience attribute for use with the default CSV Reader. Specifies the token value delimiter. That is, if a token value begins and ends with the tokenValueDelimiter, it is stripped and not be part of the token value. The default is the double quote character: ‘”’. It is used when there are some special characters in the token content; the token begins and end with the tokenValueDelimiter. The special character can be the tokenDelimiter and tokenValueDelimiter characters. If the tokenValueDelimiter itself is in the token content, use two tokenValueDelimiter characters to escape it. For example, if the double quote ‘”’ is the tokenValueDelimiter and the token content also contains the ‘”’ character, use two double quotes ’””’ to represent one double quote.

charset String No UTF-8

A convenience attribute for use with the default CSV Reader. Specifies the CSV file encoding. The default is UTF-8.

The implementation class of the data writer to use.


    
 
  • 
  com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.datawriter.JDBCDataWriter:  
      
  This data writer writes the physical objects to the database directly using JDBC with batch support. This is typically used in the delta data load scenario.
 
    • 

 
  • 
  com.ibm.commerce.foundation.dataload.datawriter.NativeDBDataWriter: 
      
  This data writer will convert the physical objects to a file in the database native loadable format. This is usually used in the initial data load.

UniqueIndexColumn The UniqueIndexColumn element contains the following attributes: • name – the column name. It is mandatory. • value – the column value. It is mandatory. It is usually a value key and the real column value will be determined by the valueFrom attribute and also the input data. • valueFrom – It is used to indicate how the column value in the value attribute is determined. It is optional. The possible values for the valueFrom are: • InputData – It is the default. That is, if the valueFrom is not specified, the default is this value. • Fixed – It mens that the column value is fixed with the value defined in the value attribute. • BusinessContext – It means that the column value is from the business context. • IDResolve – It means that the column value will be resolved by the ID resolver. In this case, the column may have an optional IDResolve element to indicate how to resolve the ID. If the IDResolve element is not defined for this column, the value must be resolved before and will be assigned here.
Documentation 
  The IDResolve element has the following attributes:
• tableName --  the table name. It is mandatory.
• primaryKeyColumnName – the primary key column name to be resolved. It is optional if the primary key for this table has only one column. Otherwise it is mandatory.
• generateNewKey – a Boolean value to indicate if a new key will be generated if the ID cannot be resolved in the database. It is optional. The default is false.

The IDResolve element contains optional UniqueIndexColumn elements:
• If the tableName in the IDResolve element is the same as the name in the Table, the UniqueIndexColumn element can be optional to use the column element defined in the Table element.
• In the data load insert mode, if the generateNewKey is true, you don’t need to specify the UniqueIndexColumn. The ID resolver will always get a new generated key.
