Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB Writer Feature Type Parameters

To access feature type parameters, click the gear icon on a feature type in the workspace. This opens the Feature Type Parameter Editor.

Tip: To always display the editor in Workbench, you can select View > Windows > Parameter Editor.

General

All feature types share similar General parameters, which may include Feature Type Name, Reader or Writer information, and Geometry.

In most Writer Feature Type parameter dialogs, you can also control Dynamic Schema Definitions. Some database formats accept Table or Index Qualifier prefixes on the output table feature type.

These parameters apply only to a selected feature type, not to the entire writer.

Note: If a feature type parameter listed here conflicts with a writer-level parameter, then the writer parameter will be ignored and this feature type parameter will be used.

Collection Settings

Note: Collections created by the Cosmos DB writer use default settings, so it is not possible to configure the indexing policies, triggers, stored procedures, and user-defined functions via the Cosmos DB writer.

WARNING: Since there is an hourly cost associated with each Collection, use caution to avoid creating too many Collections. To avoid unintended creation of Collections, the default setting for this parameter is Use Existing. Writer Feature Types should be imported from the Cosmos DB reader to avoid defining Feature Types that do not correspond to an existing Collection, and potentially triggering the unintended creation of a Collection. (By default, when the writer is added to the workspace, the Collection Definition is set to Copy from Reader.)
