Editing the Data Type Definition is possible only in the following instances:
Addition of New Fields: When new fields are introduced into the mapped table from the database, these changes will be reflected on the Data Type Definition page. The newly added fields will be highlighted for user attention.
Removal of Existing Fields: Should a field be removed from the database, the associated field in the Data Type Definition page will be highlighted allowing users to decide whether to include it or remove it entirely.
Column Name Changes: Modifications in column names within the database will be highlighted on the Data Type Definition page for user acknowledgment and necessary action.
Please Note:
If any of these changes take place in the mapped table, then that field or field(s) will get highlighted in the Data Type Definition section of the Data Store Meta Data.
In the above-given scenarios, while using the Edit option for the Data Store Meta Data, the user can include the field(s), or change the data type of the concerned fields, or remove the field(s) from the Data Store Meta Data using the Data Type Definition section.
Once the newly mapped or deleted field is updated in the Data Store Meta Data, the user won’t be able to change the data type in the Data Store Meta Data.
The deleted field will be enabled for editing on the Data Type Definition page, only if the field does not exist in the mapped table.
