Text Editor Shortcut Menu

The Data Management Console has a graphical user interface for editing flows, synonyms, and workspace configuration. It is recommended that this interface should be used since it ensures proper syntax. However, for advanced users, the Data Management Console also has a text editor that can be used to edit the underlying files.

Note: Changes made to a flow using the text editor may be lost when the flow is opened normally.

Use caution when adding comments to the first lines (header) of a stored procedure or a flow. Avoid comments starting with -*DM, since such comments are reserved for DataMigrator internal use. A best practice is to put a space between -* and the rest of your comment.
