Execute Block
The Execute Block is a form of the Create Block. It is only available if you have enabled stored procedures in the Additional Parameters field on the Connection dialog and the datastore contains stored procedures.
Use the Execute Block to view and use stored procedures, where each stored procedure is represented as an entity and each input parameter is represented as a field within that entity.
Note: For a database with a large number of tables and stored procedures, it is recommended that you limit the information returned to TIBCO Scribe® Online. Use the Additional Parameters and Object Filter fields on the Connection dialog for the Microsoft SQL Server Connector to specify the objects that should be returned from the database. See TIBCO Scribe® Online Connector For Microsoft SQL Server.
The Execute Block is like a Create Block, with the following differences:
- In the Entity drop-down list, the Execute Block displays stored procedures.
- When the Map runs, TIBCO Scribe® Online does not create records from the Execute Block. Instead, it calls the selected stored procedure with any mapped values. Mapped values are the stored procedure parameters.
Use the Execute Block when you want to run a stored procedure from within an Integration Map. For information about returning a complete data set from a stored procedure, see Native Query Block.
