Note

These settings are only available/displayed if your WhereScape RED license includes support for custom target databases.  

This option enables you to set the DSS Columns for custom database targets.

Data types for Custom Database Targets

Enables you to set the data types that are used in the DSS columns added to new table objects.

Note

  1. The Hash Key Generation Wizard creates new hub and link hash keys in a Data Vault Stage table with the same data type defined for the dss_change_hash column, if the table is in a Custom database target.
  2. If the table is not in a Custom database target, the data type CHAR(32) is used.
  3. Changing this data type has no impact on any existing hash key columns.
