Read Transformation Properties

After you create a Read transformation, you can configure properties for the transformation.

Configure Read transformation properties on property tabs. The tabs you can use depend on the type of source that the Read transformation represents.

The following table describes each property tab and identifies the source type you use the tab for:

Property Tab	Description	Source Type
General	Specify transformation properties and behavior. For relational and customized data object sources, synchronize transformation input ports with source.	All
Data Object	Specify the transformation data source.	Relational Flat file Customized data object

Sources	Select source tables and configure source details.	Relational Customized data object
Data Object Parameters	Set parameter properties.	Flat file Customized data object Logical data object
Run Time Linking	Configure a group-to-group link between transformations that uses a parameter, a link policy, or both to determine which ports to link at run time.	All
