Attributes
| Attribute | API Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | String | Specifies the name of the object. This name can be used to reference this object from anywhere else in the program. This is a required property | |
| RawFileFormatName | AstRawFileFormatNode | This value specifies the Raw File Format in which the source file is stored. This is a required reference to an existing definiton. | |
| LocaleId | Language | Inherited | This value specifies which locale is used by the dataflow task. |
| ValidateExternalMetadata | Boolean | true | This value specifies whether the data flow transformation is validated against columns that originated in external data sources. When server assets such as tables and stored procedures are created during processing, ValidateExternalMetadata is normally set to False, which prevents validation from completing at compile time. |
Singleton Children
| Child | API Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <FileInput /> | AstFileResourceNode | AstFileResourceNode is used for creating references to file connections that have been modeled in the Biml project. This is a required property |
| <VariableInput /> | AstVariableResourceNode | AstVariableResourceNode is used for creating references to variables that have been modeled in the Biml project. This is a required property |
| <ExternalFileInput /> | AstExternalFileResourceNode | The AstExternalFileResourceNode type is used for creating references to a file path on the local file system that has not been modeled in the Biml project as a file connection. This is a required property |
| <ErrorHandling /> | AstComponentErrorHandlingNode | Specifies the error handling defaults to apply to an entire component |
Collection Children
| Child | API Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <Annotations> <Annotation /> </Annotations> | AstAnnotationNode | This is a collection of annotation items that can be used to specify documentation, tags, or other information. Annotations are particularly useful for storing information about nodes that can be used by BimlScript code. |
| <Columns> <Column /> </Columns> | AstDataflowColumnMappingNode | This is a collection of mapping nodes from source columns prior to sending them to the output path. |
| <DataflowOverrides> Multiple Choices... </DataflowOverrides> | AstDataflowOverrideNode | Provides a collection of objects to override properties of the component, its input paths, its output paths, and its consituent dataflow columns. |
