External Target stage in DataStage: Input link properties section

The Properties section displays a list of properties and their attributes related to the External Target stage.

Use the Properties section to specify properties for the input link. These dictate how incoming data is written and to what program. Some of the properties are mandatory, although many have default settings. Properties without default settings appear in the warning color (red by default) and turn black when you supply a value for them.

The following table gives a quick reference list of the properties and their attributes. A more detailed description of each property follows.
