Assign a Parameter to the Target Data Object

Assign a Parameter to the Target Data Object

You can assign a parameter to a customized data object and change the source for the Write transformation at run time.
Parameterize the data object when you have a customized data object in the Model repository for more than one target data source. When you change the value of the parameter, the target changes for all objects that uses the parameter.
When you create a Write transformation from a customized data object, information about the data object appears on the
Data Object
tab of the transformation properties. You can click the data object name to view the definition from the Model repository. To parameterize the data object, create a resource type parameter or browse for a resource parameter. The parameter default value is the name of customized data object in the Model repository. When you create a default parameter value, you select a customized data object name from a list of data objects in the repository.
When you change the data object, the transformation ports change. You can view the ports on the
Ports
tab in the transformation properties.
The following table describes the parameter options on the
Data Object
tab:
