Consider the following rules and guidelines when you create an input:
•Where possible, use input names that match to the names of the input fields that the rule specification will read in a mapping. When you add the rule specification to a Rule Specification transformation in a mapping, you can use an Automatch option to connect the rule specification inputs to transformation input fields with similar names. You can also manually connect any rule specification input to any input field on the transformation.
•When you perform a computation that involves a string data type and an integer data type in advanced mode, the asset can cast the digits in the string as an integer. If the string contains non-numeric characters in the computation with an integer, the asset assigns a value of zero to the non-numeric characters in the string. For example, if you specify a string input value of ABC and an integer input value of 10 in the expression Output = String_Value + Integer_Value, the asset generates an output value of 10.
If you specify a string input value of 10 and an integer input value of 10 in the expression Output = String_Value + Integer_Value, the asset generates an output value of 20.
