Pre-Actions
A Pre-Action tab is available for the data sources.
The actions that could be performed before the execution of a Data Source are explained below:
| Field | Description | 
|---|---|
| SQL | The user can execute SQL from the actions option by selecting the connection at which he wants to execute the SQL and provide the query which he wants to execute. 
 | 
| Shell Script | The user can invoke a Shell Script as an Action. To invoke the shell script there are two ways to provide the input: - Writing the shell script in the inline editor - The user can upload the shell script file to execute it. 
 | 
| Stored Procedure | With this option user can execute a stored procedure or function stored in a database. To do so, the user has to select an appropriate JDBC connection. Further he would be required to select the relevant stored procedure appearing in the drop-down menu. | 
- If for some reason the action configured fails to execute, the user has the option to check-mark the ‘Ignore Action Error’ option so that the pipeline runs without getting impacted. 
- By check-marking the ‘Ignore while execution’ option, the configuration will remain intact in the pipeline, but the configured action will not get executed. 
- The user can also configure multiple actions by clicking on the Add Action button.
