Chapter 10 Building Data Transformation Diagrams

Inserting a data split

A data split allows the duplication of an incoming data flow into several outgoing data flows. Outgoing flows have identical data structure columns.

You cannot modify the data structure columns of a data split.

To insert a data split:

1. Select the Data Split tool in the palette, and create the corresponding object in the diagram.
2. Select the Data Flow tool, and draw a flow from the preceding step (a data input or action) to the data split to initialize it with the appropriate columns.
3. Double-click the data split symbol to open its property sheet. The Data Structure Columns tab is automatically completed with the values from the incoming flow.
4. Click the Data Structure Columns tab and do any appropriate changes.
5. Click OK to save your changes and return to the diagram.
