Placeholder ETL Source

Use Placeholder Channel to move ahead without configuring any data source.

Schema Type #

See the topic Provide Schema for ETL Source → to know how schema details can be provided for data sources.

After providing schema type details, the next step is to configure the data source.

Data Source Configuration #

Placeholder channel is required in cases where the ETL application has a processor and emitter that does not require a channel.

Example: To only check the business logic or the processing of data, without using a data source to generate data for the pipeline.

A Dummy Channel can be used to test a data pipeline without the requirement of generating the data using an actual channel.

Pre Action #

To understand how to provide SQL queries or Stored Procedures that will be executed during pipeline run, see Pre-Actions →.

Notes #

Optionally, enter notes in the Notes → tab and save the configuration.
