Input

Contains data that you pass to the Parser transformation. The transformation merges all input ports into a combined data string using the

Input Join Character

specified on the

Strategies

tab. If you do not specify an input join character, the transformation uses a space character by default.

Parsed Output Ports

User-defined output port(s) that contains successfully parsed strings. In cases where multiple parsing strategies use the same output, the transformation merges the output into a combined data string using the

Output Join Character

specified on the

Strategies

tab. If you do not specify an output join character, the transformation uses a space character by default.

Overflow

Contains successfully parsed strings that do not fit into the number of outputs defined in the transformation. For example, if the transformation only has two "WORD" outputs, the string "John James Smith" results in an overflow output of "Smith." The Parser transformation creates an overflow port for each strategy that you add.

When you select the Detailed Overflow option, the transformation creates an overflow port for each label in the model.

Unparsed

Contains strings that the transformation cannot parse successfully. The Parser transformation creates an unparsed port for each strategy that you add.
