Title: Comments or documentation in Data Manager
Post by: terry_stjean on 04 Jul 2013 11:42:18 AM
In MS SSIS, I can add an annotation into the SSIS ETL package itself.
Is there anyway in Data Manager to add notes or documentation in the actual ETL package itself?

Hi,

Most objects in Data Manager have properties including a Description field. If you select the catalog at the top of the tree on the left hand side then go to Edit > Properties, you can enter descriptive text that pertains to the catalog. Is this what you are looking for?

You see the descriptions displayed when you use File > Document Catalog.

Cheers!

MF.

That's what I thought. I was hoping there was a more visible way of showing notes than having to select the properties.
