Editing Definitions in the Designer Workspace

In the Designer workspace, you can add descriptions or specify links to business documentation for a web service source or target definition at any time. If you create a source or target definition manually or based on a relational or flat file target, you can modify the list of columns in the source or target definition. When you make changes to the columns, the changes are immediately reflected in the XML views.

To view or edit the properties of a source or target definition, double-click the source definition in the Source Analyzer or the target definition in the Target Designer. Or you can right-click the title of the source or target definition and select Edit.

You can view or edit the web service source and target definition in the following tabs:

Table.
On the Table tab, you can provide the owner name and description, and you can change the name of the definition. You cannot change the table type.

Columns.
On the Columns tab, you can edit the precision for String datatypes. You can also add business names and column descriptions.

Attributes.
On the Attributes tab, you can view attribute values for each column in a source or target definition.

Metadata Extensions.
On the Metadata Extensions tab, you can view the Web Services Domain metadata extensions. You can also add metadata extensions in the User Defined Metadata Domain.

Web Service Definition.
This tab appears if you edit a source or target definition created from a relational or flat file target. You can add, edit, or delete a column in the source or target definition. The changes you make immediately appear in the Columns tab.
