Custom Attributes Dialog Box
You use the Profiles resource to add custom attributes to a data source partition. Custom attributes are application specific. Typically, the attributes that are common to all profile definitions or data stores are stored in the ClassDef or SourceDef table. However, there might be specific attributes that apply only to certain selected data source objects. For example, you can create a custom attribute to maintain the sort order of data sources or partitions on a data source, or to help you maintain consistency with other objects, such as member definition and source definition objects. Data source custom attributes are available only within the Profiles resource.
The following table shows the options and functions available in the Custom Attribute dialog box.
