SimpleSegment

component defines a data unit that contains an opening marker and a closing marker. It also defines the transformation that processes the data unit.

The opening and closing markers are defined with regular expressions. For more information about regular expression syntax, see RegularExpression.

The following table describes the properties of the

SimpleSegment

component:

Property	Description
closing_marker	Defines a regular expression that identifies the segment end. If this property is undefined, the segment end is the end of the source or the start of the next segment. Default is MarkerStreamer.
count	Defines the maximum number of segments to pass to the transformation. For example, if count is 3, the Streamer searches for three consecutive instances of the segment. It passes the three segments together to the transformation. If it finds only one or two segments, it passes those segments. If the segments are small, passing multiple segments to a transformation can improve performance because it reduces the Streamer overhead. Within the transformation, use a component such as RepeatingGroup to process the individual segments. Default is 1.
disabled	Determines whether the Script ignores the component and all of the child components. Use this property to test, debug, and modify a Script. You can choose one of the following options: Selected. The Script ignores the component. Cleared. The Script applies the component. The default is cleared.
name	A descriptive label for the component. This label appears in the log file and the Events view. Use the name property to identify the component that caused the event.
opening_marker	Defines a regular expression that identifies the segment start. If this property is undefined, the segment start is the beginning of the source or the end of the preceding segment. Default is MarkerStreamer.
remark	A user-defined comment that describes the purpose or action of the component.
run_component	Defines a transformation that processes the segment. You can choose one of the following options: The name of a Parser, Serializer, or Mapper that is configured at the global level of the Script. A Mapper or Serializer component. Configure the Mapper or Serializer within the segment. A WriteSegment component that copies the segment to the output. For more information, see WriteSegment.
