Add output fields on the

Output Fields

tab.

Add output fields for the output data that you want to pass to the downstream transformation. To add a field, click

Add Field

, and then enter the field name, data type, precision, and scale. You can also create output fields on the

Outputs

tab of the Python editor by clicking

Create New Field

.

After you add fields to the transformation, you can use the field names as variables in the Python code.

Use the following guidelines when you create output fields:

A field name can contain only ASCII characters.
Don't use a Python keyword for a field name. For example, don't use fields names such as
import
,
global
, or
class
.
Don't use these reserved terms for a field name:
resourceJepFile
or
resourceFilesArray
.
Set user-defined default values in the Python code.
For example, you can enter
output_field = 'value'
to set the default value
'value'
for the output field
output_field
.

You can configure one or more input fields as partition keys.

Data Integration

uses the partition keys to repartition the data before the code runs. If you don't add an incoming fields as a partition key, the data is processed using its default partitioning scheme.
