Resynchronize Table Definitions
Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2005 8:25 pm
An extra button on the Columns tab in all passive stage types that allows the columns in the grid to be resynchronized against the table definition in the Repository from which they were drawn.
This would be useful, for example, after changes to data type, precision, scale, etc. Name changes are perhaps more difficult, so could remain out of scope for the first implementation.
To make it really useful, it could run through a dialog each time a change is detected, with Yes, Yes to All, No, No to All and Cancel buttons.
A beneficial side effect is that such a tool would encourage folks to maintain the linkages between table definitions in the Repository and their job designs.
Incidentally, I need one of these yesterday.
