Setting the value of a simple type element included in a complex type output structure to a default or fixed value
In the Graphical Data Mapping editor, use the Create transform to set the value of an output element that is defined as part of a complex data type. You use the default or the fixed value defined in the schema for that element.
About this task
The Create transform creates an output element without the use of input data.
Note: You can
only set the value of a simple output element to its default or fixed
value when the schema includes a default value or a fixed value for
the element.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to create a simple type element included in a complex type output structure with its default or fixed value:
- Click the output element and drag the connector towards
the input elements, releasing the connector onto a blank part of the
canvas. When you release the connector, a Create transform
is created.
- Open the nested map associated to the Create transform.
You can define how each target element or attribute will be created
within the complex element. For more information, see Setting the value of a simple output element to a default or fixed value.
You can use in the Create transform nested map more Create transforms, Assign transforms, or any other mapping transforms that do not require an input. You can use this method to populate as many fields as required in the complex output structure.
