Attributes
| Attribute | API Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ConnectionName | AstFlatFileConnectionNode | This value specifies the Flat File connection to use when loading the data. This is a required reference to an existing definiton. | |
| 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 | |
| EscapeQualifier | Boolean | False | This value specifies whether the text qualifier written to the destination file will be escaped. The default value is False. |
| LocaleId | Language | Inherited | This value specifies which locale is used by the dataflow task. |
| Overwrite | Boolean | True | This value specifies whether to overwrite or append data to a destination file with the same name. The default value is True. |
| 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. |

| <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 value specifies how the component should map columns in the data flow to columns in the destination. Columns that are not explicitly listed in this collection are automatically mapped based on name. |
| <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. |
