The name of a component identifies it in the Script, the
Data Processor Events
view and the log.
When the Data Processor transformation performs the instructions in a component, the component generates an event that appears in the
Data Processor Events
view and the log. A component that appears at the global level of the Script must have a name. A component that appears as the child of another component can have a name that you configure with the
name
property.
The name of a component must begin with a letter, must contain only English characters (A-Z, a-z), numerals (0-9), and underscores (_), and must contain no more than 127 characters.
