Group Section Type Setting Description
Core Defaults Text Datatype Hash Null Value Replacement The Null value replacement to be used when hashing
Core Defaults Text Datatype SSIS Hash Null Value Replacement The Null value replacement to be used when hashing using the Varigence BimlFlex SSIS Custom component. Provides backwards compatibility when set to an empty string. For new implementations and SQL hash compatibility, set to the same value as used for HashNullValue
Core Defaults Boolean Datatype Integration Key To Upper Should strings in the Integration Key be uppercased. This is recommended and allows the standard SQL Server case insensitive collation to ingest business keys from multiple sources using different casings to be added to Hubs and treated as the same key without issues
Core Defaults Text Datatype String Concatenator The string value used in concatenating Integration Keys and Hash values. Defaults to "~". For a source column with an "SsisDataflowExpression" using the "FlexToBk(@@rs,ProductId,OtherAttribute)" expression the resulting string Integration Key would be similar to "AWLT~680~XYZ", concatenating the record source of the connection, the ProductId column value and the OtherAttribute column value
Data Vault Accelerator Boolean Datatype Use Hash Keys Should the Data Vault use Hash Keys or Natural Keys
Data Vault Accelerator Boolean Datatype Accelerate Link Satellite Keys Should the accelerator add the Integration Key to the Link Satellites for effectiveness
Data Vault Accelerator Boolean Datatype Accelerate Hub Keys Should the Accelerator add source key columns to the Hub in addition to the Integration Key
Data Vault Accelerator Boolean Datatype Accelerate Link Keys Should the Accelerator add source key columns to the Link in addition to the Integration Key
Model Settings Text Datatype Infer Integration Key From Where to infer the Integration Key from.
Case sensitive options are "None", "PrimaryKey", "UniqueKey", "FirstColumn", "IdentityColumn" and "ColumnName::[NameOfColumn]".
When specifying "ColumnName", a name needs to be added in the Import Metadata screen or specify "ColumnName::UID" to auto populate the column name field with "UID"
Model Settings Text Datatype Pad Integration Key Number of Characters to pad the Integration Key to
Model Settings Text Datatype Append Integration Key The string to append to Integration Keys
Model Settings Boolean Datatype Add Record Source To Integration Key Import Metadata will add "@@rs" to Integration Keys if true
Model Settings Boolean Datatype Change References To Integration Key Should Import Metadata add derived Integration Keys from source references or use source columns for references
Naming Naming Text Datatype Suffix Or Prefix Column The "SuffixOrPrefixColumn" key defines the behavior when defining column names. Use Suffix or Prefix to define if the column identifiers are added after or before the column names in the solution.

"S" for Suffix will generate "Entity_BK"

"P" for Prefix Will generate "BK_Entity"
