Creating a Target Definition from a Flat File Source

Creating a Target Definition from a Flat File Source

When you drag a flat file source definition into the Target Designer workspace, the Target Designer creates a flat file target definition by default that matches the source definition.
When you create a flat file target definition from a flat file source definition, the Designer uses the flat file source definition code page.
You can edit the definition to change information, such as the description, columns, datatypes, and target type.
