Parameterization of transformations

Overview

FROM (source) and TO (destination) fields for a particular transformation can be configured using variables.

Process

Enter the {variable name} anywhere within the FROM/ TO fields. The system will replace the {token} on the value of the global variable with the same name.

Use one of the following methods to set global variables:

• Set global variables using script
• Database loop parameters
• File loop parameters
• Flow variables set at the flow level
• URL parameters in call-flow-by-name API
• URL parameters is user-defined API

Example

A real-life example would be transforming a response from the web service to the file with a new name calculated as constant_{current_timestamp}.json. The {current_timestamp} is a global variable set using a JavaScript.
