String Strategy Properties

Configure the String strategy properties to determine the substrings that the Key Generator transformation uses to create a group key.

The following table describes the String strategy properties:

Property	Description
Start from left	Configures the transformation to read the input field from left to right.
Start from right	Configures the transformation to read the input field from right to left.
Start position	Specifies the number of characters to skip. For example, if you enter 3 for the Start position , the substring starts at the fourth character in the input field, starting from the side that you specify.
Length	Specifies the length of the string to use as a group key. Enter 0 to use the whole input field.
