The Selection Criteria Specification Component

The Selection Criteria Specification Component manages your library of selection criteria specifications. Use this component to:

Describe the existing source database that is used as the basis for generating the target database
Describe the paths to use when selecting the records from the source database
Describe the selection criteria to be used when following these paths
Save your specifications under a specification name of your choice.
