Save as Data Asset: Select checkbox to save the schema as a data asset in Gathr.

Data Asset Name: Provide a name for the data asset to be saved.

Connection Name: Connections are the service identifiers. A connection name can be selected from the list if you have created and saved connection details for GCS earlier. Or create one as explained in the topic - GCS Connection →

Use the Test Connection option to ensure that the connection with the GCS channel is established successfully.

A success message states that the connection is available. In case of any error in test connection, edit the connection to resolve the issue before proceeding further.

Output Fields: Select the fields in the message that needs to be a part of the output data.

Partitioning Required: To partition the data, check-mark the box and select the fields in Partition Columns parameter on which the data will be partitioned.

Save Mode: Save Mode is used to specify the expected behavior of saving data to a data sink.

ErrorifExist: When persisting data, if the data already exists, an exception is expected to be thrown.

Append: When persisting data, if data/table already exists, contents of the Schema are expected to be appended to existing data.

Overwrite: When persisting data, if data/table already exists, existing data is expected to be overwritten by the contents of the Data.

Ignore: When persisting data, if data/table already exists, the save operation is expected to not save the contents of the Data and to not change the existing data.

This is similar to a CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS in SQL.
