The Convert transform performs conversions between simple data types.

Inputs and outputs

Input
There is one input element.
Output
The output of this transform consists of the data string that is generated by converting the input string from the input element.

Properties

To ensure that the conversion is successful, set a value in this transform:
  • Convert a Boolean value (true or false) to an integer value of one or zero.
  • Extract a specific value, such as a person's age, from a string. One business object can express the person's age as a string while another business object can express it as an integer.
    Important: When a string cannot be converted to an integer, you must enter an integer into the Target field.
