TRANSFORM

This activity executes a transformation map. The parameters specify the identifier (or name) of the transformation map to run and up to ten transformation map parameters.

Usually you will use the Transform directive from the palette to run a transformation map in a processing sequence. This is the easiest way when you know at design time the identity of the transformation map you wish to use because the processing sequence editor shows the exact parameters that you must provide.

However, you can execute a transformation map using this activity when the identity of the transformation map is variable. For example, you might use this to execute transformation maps that are linked to trading partner definitions. Refer to 2.4.7 Link Transformation Maps to a Trading Partner for more information.

Note: When you use this activity to execute a transformation map, you must ensure that the parameters specified are correct and appropriate for every different map that might be executed by the activity. You need to take care when editing the transformation maps to ensure that this is the case.

INPUT Parameters:

TRANSFORMID : Required

This parameter must specify the identity of the transformation map to be run.

TRANSFORMP1
TRANSFORMP10
: Optional

These parameters provide up to ten parameters for the transformation map. You must make sure that you specify parameters that are appropriate for every transformation map that the activity might run.

OUTPUT Parameters:

There are no output parameters.
