Transformation rules and current output record

In the Transformation Rule column, you can add, modify, or delete transformation rules. You can also edit single-line functions by changing the current attribute input field. Adding the function uUpper to the attribute IN.PR_NAME would look like the following example:

IN.PR_NAME

You can use the Procedure Editor (see “Using the JavaScript Procedure Editor and Debugger”) to create more complex procedural transformations.

The attributes displayed after opening the Data Calculator window in the Tabular view are related to attribute structure of the IN-port and the OUT-Port.

You can also add additional transformation rules. This is extremely helpful if the number of OUT attributes does not match the number of IN attributes, or if additional attributes have been added to the project at a later stage of development.

NoteThe view in the Graph Tab mirrors the actual Port Structures. You cannot add or delete attributes there.

StepsTo manually add transformation rules

  1. Right-click anywhere in the Transformation Rule and Current Output Port column.

  2. Select the Insert command to add a line.

  3. Click the added line.

  4. Right-click and select OUT or TMP.

  5. Select one of the attributes from the menu.
