How can you test the interaction of the options of a SAS Data Integration Studio Generated transformation?

Question

Options

• AThe transformation has to be used within a job to interactively test the options with the Test
• BThe options can be tested after finalizing and saving the transformation with the Test Prompt item
• CThe options can be tested only after adding all options that are assigned to the source code with
• DThe options can be tested at any time after adding them to the transformation with the Test

• A
  6% (1)
• C
  6% (1)
• D
  89% (16)

Explanation

Option D is correct because SAS Data Integration Studio's Generated transformation wizard includes a Test Prompt button that becomes available immediately after an option is added - there is no requirement to complete, finalize, or deploy the transformation first, making iterative testing during development straightforward.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong because you do not need to embed the transformation inside a job to test its options; testing is available directly within the transformation editor itself.
• B is wrong because finalization and saving are not prerequisites - you can test options mid-development without committing to a saved state.
• C is wrong because it falsely implies you must add all options before testing any; you can test each option individually as you build them.

Memory tip: Associate option D with the word "any" - "at any time" signals maximum flexibility. SAS DI Studio is designed for iterative development, so testing is never gated behind a completion step.
