Create External File Type Parameters Per Set

Explanation

Use this activity to create a parameter per set definition, i.e. creating a definition where all available parameters for an external file type are associated with a specific parameter set.

This is useful when creating a new definition of parameters per set. In order to speed up this work, the Create Parameters Per Set From Available Parameters command can be used and then directly after creating it is possible to modify the created definition.

Prerequisites

Available parameters must have been defined for the external file type. If this activity is used on an existing parameter set then there must not be any parameters associated with the set.

System Effects

When a parameter per set definition has been created then the parameter set can be referred to when handling input or output files via the External Files toolkit.
