When to use Redis connector
Redis is a key-value storage. Read more about Redis. Etlworks can read data using a unique or wildcard key and write data using a unique key.
Working with Redis is very similar to working with files: the key functions as if it is a file name, while the Redis value is associated with the file's content.
Process
Create a Redis Connection in the Connections window by clicking +, typing in redis, and selecting the Redis Connection type.
Connection parameters
- Host: Redis hostname or IP address.
- Port: Redis port (the default is 6379).
- Password: optional password if Redis is configured with password authentication.
- Key: unique key or a wildcard key.
- Encoding: if a code page is selected, the value (in a key-value pair) will be additionally encoded using the selected code page.
- Enable Wildcard Key: if there are multiple keys with the same wildcard mask you can specify an algorithm that will be used to select the next key to the process. For example, if Key is set to *documents and ascending is selected, Etlworks will always select a key that includes the suffix documents, based on the natural alphanumeric order.
