Type Configuration

A type configuration is a set of complex port properties that specify the data type of the complex data type elements or the schema of the data. After you create a complex port, you specify or change the type configuration for the complex port on the Ports tab.

The type configuration for a complex port depends on the complex data type assigned to the port. You must specify a complex data type definition for a struct port or a struct element in a complex port. Array and map ports have a default type configuration that you can change.

The following table lists the type configuration properties for complex ports:

Complex Port	Type Configuration Properties
array	Type. Data type of the elements of an array. Default is string. Array Dimension. Number of levels for an array. Default is 1. Precision. Maximum number of significant digits for numeric data types, or maximum number of characters for string data types. Scale. Maximum number of digits after the decimal point of numeric values.
map	Type. Data type of the key-value pair. Default is string for key and value. Precision. Maximum number of significant digits for numeric data types, or maximum number of characters for string data types. Scale. Maximum number of digits after the decimal point of numeric values.
struct	Complex data type definition. The schema of the data that you created or imported as complex data type definition in the type definition library.
