About the DAC Configuration Tags Tab


A configuration tag is an object that controls the inclusion of tasks in subject areas. When a task is tagged, it is not eligible to be included in the collection of tasks for any subject area, unless the tag is part of the subject area definition "Include Task" property.

A configuration tag can function in one of the following ways:

  • Remove tasks from all subject areas
  • Reassign autogenerated tasks to a specific subject area
  • Add non-autogenerated tasks to a subject area

For instructions on creating configuration tags, see Working with Configuration Tags.

Table 25 provides a description of the columns in the top pane of the Configuration Tags tab.

Column
Description

Include Tasks

If this check box is selected, the tasks that are assigned to a configuration tag will participate in the ETL process for the subject area to which this configuration tag is assigned.

For example, suppose Configuration Tag 1 is made up of Task 1 and Task 2, and Configuration Tag 1 is assigned to Subject Area 1. Task 1 and Task 2 will be executed when the execution plan for Subject Area 1 is executed, whether or not Task 1 and Task 2 relate to the tables that make up the subject area.

Table 26 provides a description of the child tabs in the bottom pane of the Configuration Tags tab.

Subject Areas

This child tab allows you to assign a configuration tag to a subject area.

  • Configuration Tag tasks only. This field is read-only. It indicates whether configuration tag tasks are the only tasks associated with this subject area that will participate in the ETL process. If this check box is selected, the tasks shown in the Tasks child tab will not participate in the ETL process; only the tasks associated with the configuration tag will participate. You set this flag in the Subject Areas parent tab.

Tasks

This child tab allows you to assign tasks to a configuration tag.
