Output fields

Output fields

When you connect upstream transformations to a Union transformation, you initialize the output fields. The initial output fields are an exact copy of the input fields in group Input1.
When you define output fields, note the following:
  • After you initialize the output fields, you cannot change the output fields by connecting or disconnecting the input group.
  • You can manually add output fields if you add them before you connect one of the Union transformation input groups.
  • When you add an output field, you define the field name, data type, precision, scale, and optional description. The description can contain up to 4000 characters.
  • If you connect the Union transformation to an upstream transformation that does not pass in any fields, the output fields are not initialized.
  • At run time, the mapping passes null values to output fields that are not in a field mapping.
