Object Name Pattern

Specific override behavior for the object name for staging tables.

When set, the names of staged objects (Staging, Persistent Staging Area and External tables) are built from this pattern instead of the standard derivation. The pattern supports four tokens:

TokenResolves to
@@thisThe object's standard derived name
@@rsThe Record Source code of the connection
@@stageThe stage affix for the target (external/staging affix, depending on platform and stage)
@@schemaThe object's original schema

When the pattern is blank (the default), the standard naming applies.

When to Change This Setting

Set it when your environment mandates a specific object naming convention for staging tables that the affix-based settings cannot express, for example @@rs_@@schema_@@this to combine record source, schema and name into one identifier.
