Edit Data Types

You can edit the properties for the destination transformer's inbound data type.

A filter only has access to the inbound data type, while a transformer has access to both inbound and outbound data types. Additionally, when editing the destination transformer the inbound data type may not be changed, since it must remain the same as the source connector's outbound data type. However, you can still edit the properties for the destination transformer's inbound data type.

When selecting the Properties button, a dialog opens allowing you to edit the various inbound or outbound properties for the data type. This is a subset of the view shown in the Set Data Types Window. For additional information, see About Data Types and Data Types.
