Setting Up the Properties File for User-Defined Datatypes

Setting Up the Properties File for User-Defined Datatypes

If you use sources and targets that contain user-defined datatypes, you must set up the properties file to define how to convert the datatypes.
  1. Verify that the TDM installation directory contains the following folder:
    <TDMInstallationDirectory>/utilities/mapgen/config
    If the folder does not exist, create it.
  2. Create the user-defined datatype properties file.
    The properties file name must match the database for the source or target.
  3. Add the list of user-defined datatypes to the properties file.
    Set the parameters for the user-defined datatypes.
When you generate a workflow, the PowerCenter Integration Service checks for user-defined datatypes in the sources and targets. It uses the conversion information in the properties file to convert user-defined datatypes in sources to PowerCenter datatypes and convert PowerCenter datatypes to user-defined datatypes in targets.
