Transformation Custom Properties

Applies to: SQL Server SSIS Integration Runtime in Azure Data Factory

In addition to the properties that are common to most data flow objects in the SQL Server Integration Services object model, many data flow objects have custom properties that are specific to the object. These custom properties are available only at run time, and are not documented in the Integration Services Managed Programming Reference Documentation.

This topic lists and describes the custom properties of the various data flow transformations. For information about the properties common to most data flow objects, see Common Properties.

Some properties of transformations can be set by using property expressions. For more information, see Data Flow Properties that Can Be Set by Using Expressions.

The following table describes the custom properties of the output columns of the Sort transformation. All properties are read/write.

Property Data type Description
SortColumnID Integer The LineageID of a sort column.

The input and output of the Sort transformation have no custom properties.

For more information, see Sort Transformation.

Term Extraction Transformation Custom Properties

The Term Extraction transformation has both custom properties and the properties common to all data flow components.

The following table describes the custom properties of the Term Extraction transformation. All properties are read/write.

Property Data ype Description
FrequencyThreshold Integer A numeric value that indicates the number of times a term must occur before it is extracted. The default value of this property is 2.
IsCaseSensitive Boolean A value that specifies whether case sensitivity is used when extracting nouns and noun phrases. The default value of this property is False.
MaxLengthOfTerm Integer A numeric value that indicates the maximum length of a term. This property applies only to phrases. The default value of this property is 12.
NeedRefenceData Boolean A value that specifies whether the transformation uses a list of exclusion terms stored in a reference table. The default value of this property is False.
OutTermColumn String The name of the column that contains the exclusion terms.
OutTermTable String The name of the table that contains the column with exclusion terms.
ScoreType Integer A value that specifies the type of score to associate with the term. Valid values are 0 indicating frequency, and 1 indicating a TFIDF score. The TFIDF score is the product of Term Frequency and Inverse Document Frequency, defined as: TFIDF of a Term T = (frequency of T) * log( (#rows in Input) / (#rows having T) ). The default value of this property is 0.
WordOrPhrase Integer A value that specifies term type. The valid values are 0 indicating words only, 1 indicating noun phrases only, and 2 indicating both words and noun phrases. The default value of this property is 0.

The input, the input columns, the output, and the output columns of the Term Extraction transformation have no custom properties.

For more information, see Term Extraction Transformation.

Term Lookup Transformation Custom Properties

The Term Lookup transformation has both custom properties and the properties common to all data flow components.

The following table describes the custom properties of the Term Lookup transformation. All properties are read/write.

Property Data type Description
IsCaseSensitive Boolean A value that specifies whether a case sensitive comparison applies to the match of the input column text and the lookup term. The default value of this property is False.
RefTermColumn String The name of the column that contains the lookup terms.
RefTermTable String The name of the table that contains the column with lookup terms.

The following table describes the custom properties of the input columns of the Term Lookup transformation. All properties are read/write.

Property Data type Description
InputColumnType Integer A value that specifies the use of the column. Valid values are 0 for a passthrough column, 1 for a lookup column, and 2 for a column that is both a passthrough and a lookup column.

The following table describes the custom properties of the output columns of the Term Lookup transformation. All properties are read/write.

Property name Data type Description
CustomLineageID Integer The LineageID of the corresponding input column if the InputColumnType of that column is 0 or 2.

The input and output of the Term Lookup transformation have no custom properties.

For more information, see Term Lookup Transformation.

Unpivot Transformation Custom Properties

The Unpivot transformation has only the properties common to all data flow components at the component level.

Note

This section relies on the Unpivot scenario described in Unpivot Transformation to illustrate the use of the options described here.

The following table describes the custom properties of the input columns of the Unpivot transformation. All properties are read/write.

Property Data type Description
DestinationColumn Integer The LineageID of the output column to which the input column maps. A value of -1 indicates that the input column is not mapped to an output column.
PivotKeyValue String A value that is copied to a transformation output column.

The value of this property can be specified by using a property expression.

In the Unpivot scenario described in Unpivot Transformation, the Pivot Values are the text values Ham, Coke, Milk, Beer, and Chips. These will appear as text values in the new Product column designated by the Pivot Key Value Column Name option.

The following table describes the custom properties of the output columns of the Unpivot transformation. All properties are read/write.

Property name Data type Description
PivotKey Boolean Indicates whether the values in the PivotKeyValue property of input columns are written to this output column.

In the Unpivot scenario described in Unpivot Transformation, the Pivot Value column name is Product and designates the new Product column into which the Ham, Coke, Milk, Beer, and Chips columns are unpivoted.

The input and output of the Unpivot transformation have no custom properties.

For more information, see Unpivot Transformation.
