Specify which ports to include or exclude in a dynamic port based on the port names or data type. You can define multiple rules. The Data Integration Service applies rules in the order in which they appear in the input rules list. Include all ports is the default input rule. Create at least one include input rule for a dynamic port.

Add ports that are excluded from other dynamic ports in the transformation. When a transformation contains multiple dynamic ports, you can include all remaining ports from the upstream transformation in the last dynamic port.

Add a prefix or a suffix to the generated port names. Use prefixes or suffixes to indicate the transformation where ports are generated or to ensure that the port names are unique within each transformation.

Restore the source port names in the generated ports. The Developer tool restores the port names as they appear in the nearest upstream transformation with static ports.

Display generated ports according to the order of the rules that you enter. By default, the Developer tool displays the ports in the same order that they appear in the upstream transformation. You can also change the order according to the order of ports in the Read transformation. However, if one or more mid-stream transformations have dynamic ports and static ports, the Developer tool displays the ports in the order that they appear in the nearest upstream transformation with static ports.
