Output fields

Use the

Output Fields

section to add output fields to a taskflow.

You can use the output fields of a subtaskflow as variables in the subsequent steps of the parent taskflow. However, if the subtaskflow fails, the output field values of the subtaskflow are not sent to the parent taskflow. When you run the parent taskflow, you can view the output fields of the Subtaskflow step on the

My Jobs

page in

Data Integration

, and the

All Jobs

page and

Running Jobs

page in Monitor.

You can create output fields of the following types:

Simple type: Create a simple type field to use common data types such as Checkbox, Date, Date Time, Time, Number, Integer, or Text.
Custom type: Create a custom type field to use an object that is added to the taskflow.

Enter the following properties for each output field that you create:

Property	Description
