Edit Component Dialog

The Edit component dialog allows you to edit component attributes in each component. You can access the dialog by double-clicking the component that has been pasted in the Graph Editor pane.

This dialog consists of two tabs: Properties tab and Ports tab.

Properties Tab

In the Properties dialog, all attributes of the components are divided into 5 groups: Basic, Advanced, Deprecated, Visual and Common.

Only the last two groups (Visual and Common) can be set in all of them.

The others groups (Basic, Advanced, and Deprecated) differ in different components.

However, some of them may be common for most of them or, at least, for some category of components (Readers, Writers, Transformers, Joiners, or Others).

Ports Tab

In this tab, you can see the list of all ports of the component. You can expand any of the two items (Input ports, Output ports) and view the metadata assigned to each of these ports.

This tab is common for all components.

Java-style Unicode expressions

Remember that you can also use the Java-style Unicode expressions anyway in CloudConnect (except in URL attributes).

You may use one or more Java-style Unicode expressions (for example, like this one): \u0014.

Such expressions consist of series of the \uxxxx codes of characters.

They may also serve as delimiter (like CTL expression shown above, without any quotes):

\u0014
