Use the Properties notebook to edit the definition of a program or a transformer that is supplied with the Data Warehouse Center. From this notebook, you can:
Specify contact information for a program or a transformer.
Provide values for certain parameters.
View or change a list of agent sites where a program or transformer is located or can reside. You can also specify other agent sites that the supplied program or transformer can use. A program or a transformer can exist on more than one agent site.
View or change a list of target databases where a transformer is located or can reside. You can also specify the target databases that a supplied program or transformer can access.
To edit the definition of a supplied program or transformer:
Open the Properties notebook for a supplied program or transformer.
Specify information for your program:
In the Administrator field, type the name of the person who is responsible for the maintenance of this program.
In the Description field, type a business description for your program. This description can be a maximum of 255 characters.
In the Notes field, type detailed information that might be helpful to users who can access this step.
Optional: On the Parameters page, double-click the value field for a parameter and type a value. This value will become the default value for the parameter. You can change this value when you use the program or the transformer in a process, if you want to.
On the Agents Sites page, select one or more agent sites that the program or transformer can use. If you are editing a program definition, you must select at least one agent site on which the program is installed. Then, click >. Repeat this step for each agent site that you want to make available to this program or transformer.
On the Targets page, select the Warehouse targets that the program or transformer can write to, and click >. If you are editing a transformer definition, you must specify the target database on which the transformer is installed. This database is usually the database that you specified as the default target database when you installed the Data Warehouse Center. Click OK to save your changes and close the notebook.
