Chapter 8 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 | Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users. |
| Code | Specifies the technical name of the item, which is used for generating code or scripts. |
| Comment | Specifies a descriptive comment for the object. |
| Stereotype | Extends the semantics of an object derived from existing objects but specific to your needs. You can type stereotypes directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in your model's resource file or in an extended model definition. |
| Source | Specifies the object from which the data flow originates. 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 | Specifies the object to which the data flow leads. 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. |
