AbstractTransformation

Subtypes

Overview

The parent type for transformation types. Transformation types are used to document transformation of data. This includes extraction, transformation, and loading of data, stored procedures, and logical to physical mappings. AbstractTransformation is a supertype that defines common attributes and associations that are shared by metadata types that describe the steps and activities in the transformation process.

This metadata type should not be instantiated. Instead, use the appropriate subtyp e to represent the steps and activities in a transformation.

Security Inheritance and Enforcement Rules

The following list of associations is used to determine if this object should inherit access controls from another object (inheritance), or if the association is allowed for the object (enforcement). An association will not be created unless the calling user is authorized to update one or both objects involved in the association. For more information about inheritance and enforcement rules, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.

Attributes

Name	Description	Type	Length
IsActive	A boolean that indicates whether this process should be executed as part of the overall transformation flow. False means do not execute this process, true means execute this process. The default value is true.	int
IsUserDefined	If this attribute is set to true, the associated source code should be used to perform the transformation. If the attribute is set to false the application may generate the necessary code.	int
TransformRole	A standardized description of the function or context of this transformation.	String	32

Associations

= indicates the resident side of an association, or where the association is persisted for cross-repository associations. If no resident side is indicated, this association may not cross repository boundaries.

Attribute Details

IsActive
     Type: int
A boolean that indicates whether this process should be executed as part of the overall transformation flow. False means do not execute this process, true means execute this process. The default value is true.

IsUserDefined
     Type: int
If this attribute is set to true, the associated source code should be used to perform the transformation. If the attribute is set to false the application may generate the necessary code.

TransformRole
     Type: String 32
A standardized description of the function or context of this transformation.
