Dynamic settings tab of components in a Job
About this task
The Basic settings and Advanced settings tabs of all components display various check boxes and drop-down lists for component parameters. Usually, available values for these types of parameters can only be edited when designing your Job.
The Dynamic settings tab, on the Component view, allows you to customize these parameters into code or variable.
This feature allows you, for example, to define these parameters as variables and thus let them become context-dependent, whereas they are not meant to be by default.
Another benefit of this feature is that you can now change the context setting at execution time. This makes full sense when you intend to export your Job in order to deploy it onto a Job execution server for example.
