DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.6: User Guide

Settings Tab

You can use the Settings tab to set the properties for the Profile (reference) node. The tab contains the following sections:

The Identification section enables you to view or change the name and describe the node. It contains the following fields:

• Name - Displays the name of the node and when appropriate allows you to rename it.
• ID - Displays the repository identifier for the node.
• Location - Specifies the physical path to the profile that is referenced by the node. Click the ellipsis button on the right of this field to display a selection dialog. The selection dialog enables you to select a profile from a user-defined folder in the current repository. Here is a sample path to a profile in a user-defined folder: dfr:///Jobs/ProfileRef/Misc/Profiles/ProfileRef_MacroProfile(ProfileJob).
  
• Description - Displays an existing description of the node or provides a field to enter a description.

The Run section enables you to specify some options that are unique to profiles.

• Version description - Displays an existing description of the profile version or provides a field to enter a description.
• Append to existing report - If selected, the report is appended added to a list of past reports for this profile. If deselected, the existing reports in the list are overwritten by the new report.
• Macro variables - Specifies any macro variables that are passed to the profile, such as variables for input file paths and file names. For example, you could define the following macro variables: 
  
  

Variable Name	Value
filepath	\\myComputer.com\source\data
filename	contacts.txt

The Options section includes the following fields:

• Exclude Node from Run - Excludes the current node the next time that the job is executed.
• Node errors - Determines whether to abort or continue running the job when it encounters a node error. The available options use the applications default (abort the job run), abort the job run, continue running the job, and only abort the flow that had the error.
• Source binding failures - Determines how to handle a failure.
• Process - Determines whether to run the node in its default process or run it in a separate process.

The Notes section enables you to enter a note.
