Automatic casting

If automatic casting is on, a data type casting function is applied automatically in these stuations if:

  • You connect two elements having incompatible data types in the mapping modeler.
  • You do the same in the function editor.
  • Two elements having incompatible data types are connected automatically because of Smart Matching.

If automatic casting is off, you cannot connect two elements having incompatible data types.

To enable automatic casting between incompatible data types:

  1. Click Configuration.
  2. Enable Data Type Casting.
    anySimpleType used in template function get-first-value, to complete the function connections.

    To manually create functions, see "Graphical mapping using functions".
