Viewing or Updating the Metadata for Transformations :: SAS(R) Data Integration Studio 4.2: User's Guide

Problem

You want to view or update the metadata for a transformation. This metadata can include the metadata for column mappings and the metadata that specifies whether you or SAS Data Integration Studio will supply the code for the transformation.

Solution

You can view or update the metadata for a transformation in the transformation's properties window. This window is available only when the transformation is included in a SAS Data Integration Studio job.

Tasks

Access the Metadata for a Transformation

Perform the following steps to access the metadata for a transformation that is included in a SAS Data Integration Studio job:

Open an existing SAS Data Integration Studio job.
Right-click the transformation in the Job Editor window that contains the metadata that you need to review or update. Then, click Properties.
Click the appropriate tab to view or update the desired metadata.

For details about the metadata that is maintained on a particular tab, click Help on that tab. The Help topics for complex tabs often include task topics that can help you perform the main tasks that are associated with that tab. Updates to transformation metadata are not reflected in the output for that transformation until you rerun the job in which the transformation appears.
