When adding a new component to a project, Sybase IQ ETL assigns a port structure to the newly added component based on the connecting link. Adding a component to a project with no unconnected ports leaves the newly added component without a port structure.
Additional attributes can be added to a port structure.
After you add a component to the project, the color of the component ports indicates the status of the component:
Red — no port structure is defined, one or more mandatory properties are not defined.
Yellow — port structure is defined, one or more mandatory properties are not defined.
Green — component is properly configured.
