to log into the database. The username must have the appropriate rights for all the
tables that the task will access—SELECT rights for tables in source databases, SELECT/
UPDATE/INSERT rights for tables in destination databases (see Appendix B). Tasks
will fail without proper access rights.
˽ Password (Value—Password) – The Password property is used in conjunction with
the User Name property to log into the database. Passwords are case sensitive, and an
incorrect password will cause the task to fail. The password value is displayed in a hid-
den “*****” format and is encrypted for security when stored in the database.

between data formats that don’t have a direct conversion (i.e. Database-to-XML).
Figure 9.2 – Data Component
The Data component has no properties of its own.
XML
The XML component represents a complete XML file in the Translator file system or in
another remotely accessible machine.

Placeholders section in this chapter). In tasks where the XML file is the destination of
an action, the XML file with the given file name will be created if it doesn’t already exist,
or updated if it does exist. Tasks that start with an XML component will fail if the given
