Assert components in Matillion ETL

Overview

Matillion ETL's suite of Assert components empower users to verify conditions of scalar variables, tables, external tables, and views.

Please Note

  • The Assert components are an Enterprise Mode feature.
  • Assert External Table is not yet available for Matillion ETL for Azure Synapse Analytics.

The Assert components suite includes:

  • Assert Scalar Variables, which lets users verify a variable's value or else halt the running of a job.
  • Assert External Table, which lets users assert the metadata and row count of an external table.
  • Assert Table, which lets users verify that the target table has been created with the correct metadata.
  • Assert View, which lets users verify that certain conditions of a view are true, or else halt the running of a job.
