Clik here to view. - Click inside configurable settings fields and you’ll see the “Add dynamic content” link pop-up. Click to launch the expression builder and enter static values or dynamic expressions that utilize your parameters.
- Now that you have your data flow designed with parameters, you can test it from a pipeline debug run. Click on the Execute Data Flow activity and you’ll see a Parameters tab on the bottom settings panel. Click inside the Value to set a static or dynamic value in either Data Flow Expression language or using the pipeline expressions (param must be type string).Image may be NSFW.
