Advanced settings (AWS Glue Batch Jobs)

The Advanced tab contains advanced settings to configure AWS Glue Batch Jobs.

Overwrite Behavior

Use the Overwrite Behavior list box to define the behavior in the event of existing files being encountered during the execution of the Job.

The following table defines the options available:

Option

Description

Always overwrite existing data

Existing files encountered during Job execution will be silently overwritten by Privitar.

Job fails if data aleady exists

Existing files encountered during Job execution will cause the Job to fail.

This behavior may be useful when Privitar is controlled via the Automation API. When using the API, data being overwritten is not expected and should be flagged as a production issue.

Handling of Bad Records

Use the Bad Record Handling dropdown menu to define the behavior in the event of bad records being received during the execution of the Job.

The following table defines the options available:

Option

Description

Fail when all records are bad

The Job is only deemed to have failed when no records in the data input could be successfully processed.

Fail when bad record percentage exceeds threshold

The Job is deemed to have failed when greater than the specified percentage of records could not be processed.

Fail when any record is bad

The Job is deemed to have failed when one or more records could not be processed.

Note

In the event that data could not be processed, the details of the failure are displayed in the Details column in the View Job window. This window can be accessed by clicking on the name of the Job in the Jobs page.
