Primary key
(PrimaryKey)<Multi><Basic><Standard>PrimaryKey<LONG> Data TypeInteger
Key(s) to be used during importing external data. When merging data, Asprova determines the identity between external and internal objects according to whether all the properties of this primary key are the same. You can edit the primary key in the field mapping window.
First row is field info
(FirstRowIsFieldInfo)<Standard>FirstRowIsFieldInfo<TFirstRowIsFieldInfo> Data TypeEnum
Specify whether the first row is field information or not when the external data source is a text file. When exporting, the code, display name, alias will be exported, and when importing the field mapping will not require setting since the meaning of each column can be obtained from the first row of the file.
Value Name Description 0 No The first file of the text file is normal data 1 Yes (code) The first row of the text file is the property code eg. Order_Code 2 Yes (alias/display name) (Only for exporting) The first row of the text file is the display name or alias of the property eg. Order code 3 Yes (code and field info) The first row of the file contains field information. The format is, property code;property id;primary key. eg. Order_Code;1181;* If you also want to re-import data using the header fields, use this same setting. 4 Yes (alias/display name and field info) The first row of the file contains field information. The format is, property name or display name;property id;primary key. eg. Order code;1181;* If you also want to re-import data using the header fields, use this same setting.

(DBIO_Synchronize)<Standard>Enum
Specify here whether or not to synchronize with external data source.
If you select Yes, data will be synchronized with external data source when you execute [File] - [Synchronize] from the menu.
Value Name Description 0 No Does not synchronize with external data source. 1 Yes Synchronizes with external data source.
SQL command type
(SqlCommandType)<Standard>SqlCommandType<TSqlCommandType> Data TypeEnum
Specify here the type of SQL commands for data export using OLE DB. If there is the possibility that the value of a primary key specified in Asprova is NULL, please select the full text type. The parameter type is characterized by faster processing than the full text type.
Value Name Description FullText Full text Data will be updated by a SQL statement for each record. If there is the possibility that the value of a primary key specified in Asprova is NULL, please select this type. Parameter Parameter Data will be updated by compiling an SQL statement only once, and using the data as parameters in the statement, for a speed improvement.
RDB transaction
(Transaction)<Standard>Transaction<TTransaction> Data TypeEnum
Specify whether or not to perform I/O as a transaction when data import/export is executed. Rolls back when an error occurs. Rollback is performed for each command. Namely, if an error occurs during export to a table, all the tables that have already been exported will also be rolled back.
Value Name Description 0 No Does not perform I/O as a transaction.
Even if an error occurs during export, actions performed up to that point will be reflected as they are.1 Yes Performs I/O as a transaction.
If an error occurs during export, Asprova will roll back the table in which the error occurred. Tables for which the property Transaction is set to Yes and that had already been exported before the error occurrence will also be rolled back. (However, this rollback will be performed only for the export within the same export command).
DBIO update time

Export SQL filter command
(DBIO_ExportSQLFilterStr)<Standard>ExportSQLFilterStr<BSTR> Data TypeString
Used for filtering the records to clear in the external database when exporting. When Asprova sends the SQL command to the database, the value set here will be appended as part of the WHERE clause, so this property needs to be set with correct SQL syntax.
Export property conversion expression
(DBIO_ExportPropertyConvertExpr)<Multi><Standard>ExportPropertyConvertExpr<ASVExpression> Data TypeExpression
Sets properties of each object in the way you specify when exporting the object. Example: To set the property order type in the order table, the expression will be ME.Order_Type='M'.
Export sort expression
(DBIO_ExportSortExpr)<Standard>Sort expression
Used for sorting data to be output during export.
Export deleted objects
(DBIO_ExportDeletedObjects)<Standard>Enum
Specify whether or not to export deleted objects. Valid only when more than one primary key is set. Since generation is performed according to the difference with the primary keys of the objects output the last time, generation may fail if you have changed the primary keys or export filter expression. If you change either of the properties, change after exporting the deleted object.
Value Name Description N No Does not export deleted objects as records. F Yes (primary key) Exports deleted objects with the status flag set to Deleted. Blank except for primary key, object ID, and update time (in the case of text file). Searches the record by primary key and set the status flag to Deleted (in the case of OLE DB).
