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. |
|
Server |
Specifies the name of the server to which the transformation process is deployed. Use the tools to the right of the list to create, browse for, or view the properties of the currently selected object. |
|
Type |
Displayed only if process types/transformation engines have been defined in an extension file (see Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner > Extension Files)under Profile/Transformation Process. If different extensions are defined for different types of process then use this field to control their display.
Note: If you change the type, any data types and SQL functions selected for data structure columns in the different transformation steps will be converted to the equivalents on the new transformation engine. For information about data types, see Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner > DBMS Definition Files > Script/Data Type Category.

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