Append Integration Key

The string to append to Integration Keys.

This affix names derived Integration Key columns throughout BimlFlex: Import Metadata names the derived key column with it (a separating underscore is added automatically), the Generate Integration Key dialog and the Business Modeling surfaces use it when creating key columns and attributes, and the Accelerator uses it when deriving Hub Integration Key names. Whether the affix is appended or prepended is controlled by Suffix Or Prefix Column.

When to Change This Setting​

Keep the default BK unless your naming standard uses a different marker for business/integration keys (for example IK or KEY). Set it before importing metadata: the affix is baked into the derived column names.
