Viewing Metadata Extensions in Extraction Maps

After you import a PowerExchange extraction map and open the associated source definition in Designer > Source Analyzer, you can view metadata extensions for the imported source definition.
You cannot edit these metadata extensions. However, you can override the map name and schema name in the session properties.
To display metadata extensions, double-click the source definition and then click the
Metadata Extensions
 tab in the
Edit Tables
 dialog box.
The following table describes the metadata information that is displayed on the
Metadata Extensions
 tab:
