Data Transformation Task Properties

To view or edit a data transformation task's properties, double-click its diagram symbol or Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:
Property Description

Name/Code/Comment

Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.

Stereotype

Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.

Keywords

Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.

The following tabs are also available:
  • Inputs - lists the inputs associated with the transformation task and allows you to create, edit, or delete inputs (see Data Inputs (DMM)).
  • Actions - lists the actions associated with the transformation task and allows you to create, edit, or delete actions (see Actions (DMM)).
  • Outputs - lists the outputs associated with the transformation task and allows you to create, edit, or delete outputs (see Data Outputs (DMM)).
  • Parameters - lists the parameters associated with the transformation task and allows you to create, edit, or delete parameters (see Transformation Parameters (DMM)).
