getMetadata

getMetadata

Retrieves Java transformation metadata at runtime. The getMetadata method retrieves metadata that you save with the storeMetadata method, such as a filter condition that the optimizer passes to the Java transformation in the pushFilter function.
Use the following syntax:
getMetadata (String key);
The following table describes the parameters:
Parameter
Parameter Type
Datatype
Description
key
Input
String
Identifies the metadata. The getMetadata method uses the key to determine which metadata to retrieve.
You can add the getMetadata method to the Java code on the following code entry tabs:
  • Helper
  • On Input
  • At End
  • Optimizer Interfaces
  • Functions
You can configure the getMetadata method to retrieve filter conditions for push-into optimization. The getMetadata method can retrieve each filter condition that you store from the optimizer.
// Retrieve a filter condition String mydata = getMetadata ("FilterKey");
