Chapter 11 Building Transformation Control Flow Diagrams


Transformation control flow properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a transformation control flow property sheet, double-click its Browser entry in the Transformation Control Flows folder. The following tabs detail the properties most commonly entered for transformation control flows.

General tab

The General tab contains the following properties:

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 transformation control 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).

Tasks tab

A task execution is used to specify what transformation tasks are executed in the control flow.

The Tasks tab displays a list of transformation task executions for the transformation control flow, in which you can create task executions, edit and delete them. Each transformation task execution must be associated with a data transformation task.

For more information about tasks, see the "Data Transformation Tasks" section in the "Building Data Transformation Diagrams" chapter.
