Adding input/output parameters

Use this procedure to add input/output parameters in a mapping. These parameters contain input or output arguments and can be dropped on a Java function, or on a Boolean function.

Note: Boolean functions should have input parameters only.

Double-click a mapping to open it in the Mapper Editor.
From the Core Functions pane, click and drag a function to add in your mapping.

Note: When connecting elements, you can only drop elements only where it is acceptable.
From the Parameters pane, click and drag an input or output parameter to add in a function in your mapping.
Right-click on a parameter and select Properties....

The Properties tab is displayed.
Specify this information:

Description

Specify a brief description for this parameter.

Name

Specify a descriptive name for this parameter.

Default value: InParameter1

Type

Default value: String

Select the data type to use. String, int, long, float, and more
Select File > Save to save the parameter into your mapping.

If you want to link an input Document element to a function, or if you want to link an output Document element to a function, a more convenient way to create parameters is to drag and drop the document element to the function. A parameter will then automatically be created with the same name as the document element. A link to the parameter is created at the same time.
