Activity And Transform

The Activity and Transform Processing Directives execute the Activity or Transformation Map specified for the item.

You must identify the specific Activity or Transformation Map that is to be executed. Usually you do this by dragging items from the Activities or Transformations tab directly into the Processing Sequence. However, you may also change the Activity or Transformation Map for an existing Processing Sequence item by dragging an item from the Activities or Transformations tab into the detailer window for the item.

The Details tab of the detailer window identifies the Activity or Transformation Map that is specified for this item.

The Parameters tab of the detailer window shows the parameters received or returned by the Activity or Transformation Map.

An asterisk in the second column denotes an inbound parameter that is flagged as being required. This means that a variable or value must be specified for it if its value has not already been set by a preceding Directive such as an Assign or another Activity.

InboundOutbound

The second column of the list shows whether the associated parameter is inbound (received by the Activity or Transformation Map), outbound (returned by the Activity or Transformation Map) or both. An asterisk in the second column denotes an inbound parameter that is flagged as being required.
