Chapter 10 Building Data Transformation Diagrams
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a data flow property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Data Flows folder. The following section details the General tab that contains the properties most commonly entered for data flows:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the item which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users. |
| Code | The technical name of the item used for generating code or scripts, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally include spaces. |
| Comment | Descriptive comment for the data flow. |
| Stereotype | Extends the semantics of an object derived from existing objects but specific to your needs. You can type stereotypes directly in the Stereotype box of the object property sheet or select a value from the list if you have previously defined stereotypes in an embedded or imported extended model definition (.XEM). |
| Source | Where the data flow starts from. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create an object, browse the complete tree of available objects or view the properties of the currently selected object |
| Destination | Where the data flow ends on. You can use the tools to the right of the list to create an object, browse the complete tree of available objects or view the properties of the currently selected object |
