DocumentDB Writer Parameters

This parameter specifies a database connection for the reader through a drop-down menu. The Add Database Connection option in the menu allows you to create a new connection. The connection requires a name that describes the connection.

Note: The following characters are not allowed in connection names: ^ \ / : * ? " < > | & = ' + % #

The new connection can be made visible only to the current user, or can be shared among multiple users.

This value is the same value as the dataset. It can be the name of the account (for example contoso), or the URL for the account (for example, https://contoso.documents.azure.com).

Paths in the URL are ignored.

The Master Key is required for the DocumentDB writer to to perform writes. The Master Key can be obtained from your DocumentDB administrator.

Note that Resource tokens are not supported.

In DocumentDB, Document Collections are organized under Databases. This parameter specifies the Database(s) that will contain the Document Collections.

The value(s) must correspond to the id values of Databases.

To improve performance, the DocumentDB Writer issues requests concurrently. This parameter specifies how many requests may be in progress at once.

If your network and Document Collection performance level supports heavier usage, this number can be increased to improve performance. If writes are failing due to throttling, try reducing this number.

Default: 4

This parameter specifies the maximum number of times to reattempt a request that is rate-limited by DocumentDB. The server performs rate-limiting when the size and frequency of requests exceeds the Collection’s performance level.

If the request continues to be rate-limited after retrying for the specified number of times, the writer logs a warning and skips the request.

Default: 3
