Specifying overwrite options for transformation output

You can specify that the transformation displays a warning message before overwriting previously generated output, if generated files have the same name. By default, the transformation displays a warning message before overwriting previously generated output.

About this task

To specify that the transformation displays a warning message before overwriting previously generated output:

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the transformation configuration file associated with the transformation for which you want to generate log files; then click Open.
  2. On the Properties page, in the Property column, click Overwrite files without warning.
  3. In the Value column, select one of the following values:
    • select false if you do not want the transformation to automatically overwrite previously generated output. If you select this option, a warning message is displayed before the transformation overwrites previously generated output.
    • select true if you want the transformation to overwrite previously generated output without displaying a warning message.
  4. Click File > Save.

Results

The option is applied the next time that you run the transformation.
Note: If you create a new transformation configuration, you can specify this information on the Main page of the New Transformation Configuration wizard.
