Configurations
Choose how to handle the StagingAttribute for each object. Options include Derived, Source, and Inherit. This setting allows you to override the default behavior for greater customization.
The setting applies to Staged Objects and controls how the system columns (the Configurations, such as the effective date, record source, and audit columns) are treated when the Staged Object is loaded.
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
Source (default) | The system columns are treated as source-provided (SRC) — the load reads their values from the staged source data |
Derived | The system columns are treated as derived (DER) — the load generates their values from the configured expressions |
Inherit | Each system column keeps the Staging Attribute defined on its Configuration entry |
When to Change This Setting
Keep the default Source when the staged data already carries populated system columns that the load should reuse. Use Derived to have the load re-derive the system column values, or Inherit to control the behavior per Configuration entry instead of globally for the Staged Object.
