Rules and Guidelines for Complex Ports

Rules and Guidelines for Complex Ports

Consider the following rules and guidelines when you work with complex ports:
  • Aggregator transformation. You cannot define a group by value as a complex port.
  • Filter transformation. You cannot use the operators >, < , >=, and <= in a filter condition to compare data in complex ports.
  • Joiner transformation. You cannot use the operators >, < , >=, and <= in a join condition to compare data in complex ports.
  • Lookup transformation. You cannot use a complex port in a lookup condition.
  • Rank transformation. You cannot define a group by or rank value as a complex port.
  • Router transformation. You cannot use the operators >, < , >=, and <= in a group filter condition to compare data in complex ports.
  • Sorter transformation. You cannot define a sort key value as a complex port.
  • You can use complex operators to specify an element of a complex port that is of a primitive data type.
    For example, an array port "emp_names" contains string elements. You can define a group by value as emp_names[0], which is of type string.
