Parquet Command

As the name suggests, this command is used to export data into a Parquet file. It’s important to note that the Parquet option is not selected by default for data export.
The Parquet command is located under the Export option in the command palette (refer to the snapshot below).

To make optimum use of the Parquet command, you can configure the options shown in the screenshot below as per your requirements.

Command Configuration

The configuration screen for the Parquet command has two tabs: Options and Text.

• Use the Options tab to set the command name and other command properties.

• Use the Text tab to navigate to the agent text where the command part is present.

Command Properties

On the Options tab of the command, we have two options:

1. General Settings

2. Parquet

General Settings → General Command Settings

The General command settings section allows user customization by assigning a desired name to the command, adding a comment to briefly describe its usability or requirement, and enabling/disabling the command as needed.

• Command name: Specifies the name of the command.

• Comments: Field for entering metadata or a brief description of the command. These annotations provide context for developers or team members and are not included in the exported data.

• Disabled: Checkbox to disable the command. When enabled, the command will be ignored during execution. By default, this is unchecked.

Parquet → Parquet Export Settings

• Timestamp: When enabled, a timestamp will be appended to the exported Parquet file name. This is unchecked by default but can be enabled anytime.

• Retain: Ensures that the exported file is not automatically deleted. By default, this is unchecked, meaning the file will be deleted unless you choose to retain it.
