Option
| Description
|
---|---|
Language | Language used for the procedure code. You define the language when you create the Custom transformation. If you need to change the language, create a new Custom transformation. |
Module Identifier | Module name. Applies to Custom transformation procedures developed using C or C++. Enter only ASCII characters in this field. You cannot enter multibyte characters. This property is the base name of the DLL or the shared library that contains the procedure. The Designer uses this name to create the C file when you generate the external procedure code. |
Function Identifier | Name of the procedure in the module. Applies to Custom transformation procedures developed using C. Enter only ASCII characters in this field. You cannot enter multibyte characters. The Designer uses this name to create the C file where you enter the procedure code. |
Class Name | Class name of the Custom transformation procedure. Applies to Custom transformation procedures developed using C++ or Java. Enter only ASCII characters in this field. You cannot enter multibyte characters. |
Runtime Location | Location that contains the DLL or shared library. Default is $PMExtProcDir. Enter a path relative to the Integration Service node that runs the Custom transformation session. If this property is blank, the Integration Service uses the environment variable defined on the Integration Service node to locate the DLL or shared library. You must copy all DLLs or shared libraries to the runtime location or to the environment variable defined on the Integration Service node. The Integration Service fails to load the procedure when it cannot locate the DLL, shared library, or a referenced file. |
Tracing Level | Amount of detail displayed in the session log for this transformation. Default is Normal. |
Is Partitionable | Indicates if you can create multiple partitions in a pipeline that uses this transformation:
Default is No. |
Inputs Must Block | Indicates if the procedure associated with the transformation must be able to block incoming data. Default is enabled. |
Is Active | Indicates if this transformation is an active or passive transformation. You cannot change this property after you create the Custom transformation. If you need to change this property, create a new Custom transformation and select the correct property value. |
Update Strategy Transformation | Indicates if this transformation defines the update strategy for output rows. Default is disabled. You can enable this for active Custom transformations. |
Transformation Scope | Indicates how the Integration Service applies the transformation logic to incoming data:
When the transformation is passive, this property is always Row. When the transformation is active, this property is All Input by default. |
Generate Transaction | Indicates if this transformation can generate transactions. When a Custom transformation generates transactions, it generates transactions for all output groups. Default is disabled. You can only enable this for active Custom transformations. |
Output is Repeatable | Indicates if the order of the output data is consistent between session runs.
|
Requires Single Thread Per Partition | Indicates if the Integration Service processes each partition at the procedure with one thread. When you enable this option, the procedure code can use thread-specific operations. Default is enabled. |
Output is Deterministic | Indicates whether the transformation generates consistent output data between session runs. Enable this property to perform recovery on sessions that use this transformation. |
