Transformer Step
The Transformer step allows you to convert a source data format into a target data format. The source and target data objects are provided to the transformer component as message objects. The Execute action performs the transformation.

Transformer Step Properties
Name | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Unique name for the step. |
Description | (Optional) Description of the step. |
Enabled | Select this option to enable the step for execution. If it is not enabled, then the step on the canvas is greyed-out. This option is useful when troubleshooting a process, especially when there are numerous steps in the process. |
Error Handling | Select either of the following: • Stop Process - (Default) All the steps after the current step are skipped or the entire process is stopped (depending on how you have the error logging options set) if this step stops due to an error. • Ignore Error - The remaining steps in this process are executed even if this step stops due to an error. This is useful when you want to write a Decision step that can test for the error state of a previous step. Note: The Break after first error Logging Option on the Configuration tab overrides the Ignore Error option in the step level, hence when you set the Ignore Error option at step level, you should uncheck (disable) the Break after first error Logging option for the Ignore Error to be effective. |
Select Transformer | Select a transformer instance. These instances are displayed when you add message components in the Configuration tab. For more information, see Adding Message Components in Configuring Processes. |
Action | Select the action for the transformer instance. |
