For information about configuring this file, see the Configuring the XML Pre-processor file topic.
Skip Session Log File Name	True	Determines whether you want to skip the conversion of the SessionLogFileName property based on the value specified in the PC.xml file.

Treat Null as Zero	False	Determines whether you want to set the default value as 0 for all numeric aggregators.
Enable High Precision	False	Determines whether you want to enable high precision for decimal data types.
Retain Direct Connections	False	Determines whether you want to convert the transformations that have a direct connection in PowerCenter to a direct connection in IDMC.
Reuse Dependent Assets	True	Reuse existing dependent assets while publishing converted assets instead of overwriting the assets. Global assets, such as User-Defined Functions (UDFs), are always reused irrespective of the Reuse Dependent Assets property value.
