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 | |
| AutoPassThrough | Boolean | True | This value specifies whether unspecified columns will automatically be passed through to the output path. The default is True. |
| EliminateDuplicates | Boolean | false | This value determines whether duplicate rows are removed from output. The default value is False. |
| LocaleId | Language | Inherited | This value specifies which locale is used by the dataflow task. |
| MaximumThreads | Int32 | -1 | This value specifies the greatest number of threads that can be used for sorting. The default value is 0, which means that the number of threads is unlimited. |
| 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 |
|---|---|---|
| <ErrorHandling /> | AstComponentErrorHandlingNode | Specifies the error handling defaults to apply to an entire component |
| <InputPath /> | AstDataflowInputPathNode | AstDataflowInputPathNode is used to model input paths in a SQL Server Integration Services dataflow task. Connections are made by referencing an appropriate output path. |
Collection Children
| Child | API Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <Columns> <Column /> </Columns> | AstSortColumnNode | This is a collection of mapping definitions that specify sorting configuration information for each of the sorted columns. This is a required property |
| <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. |
| <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. |
