You can add component variables to property items. Component variables let you apply parameters to components. Those parameters can be referenced inside user-defined procedures.
Right-click in the Properties section to open a pop-up menu.
Select Add.
Enter a name for the variable (for example, MyParameter).
Inside the component, use the following notation to reference the
variable: REF.MyParameter
Enter a prompt and a description.
Click the line containing the variable.
Right-click in the Properties section to open a pop-up menu.
Select Edit and enter the new settings.
To remove a component variable
Click the line containing the variable.
Right-click in the Properties section to open a pop-up menu.
Select Remove.
Select the Evaluate option if you want to allow evaluation of dynamic, indirect expressions (SBN expressions). Enter an SBN expression in the corresponding field using the square bracket notation [ ]. The Evaluate option lets you compute and evaluate dynamic property settings at runtime instead of assigning static values at design time.
Some property items are pre-selected as Eval. Check boxes indicate the current settings.
To enable or to disable evaluation for a property
Right-click the property that you want to evaluate at runtime.
Select Evaluate to enable or disable evaluation.
Project and job data, as well as property values, are stored in the Sybase IQ ETL repository. Most of the records in the Sybase IQ ETL repository are not encrypted but are represented in a readable XML format.
Right-click a property value.
Click Encrypt.
Refer to Chapter 6, “Components,” to find out about component specific property settings.
