Output fields

Add output fields to an Output transformation to define the data fields you want to pass from the mapplet to the downstream transformation. You must add at least one output field to each Output transformation.
Add output fields on the Output Fields tab of the properties panel. You can add fields manually or automatically generate fields based on incoming fields.
When you use the mapplet in a Mapplet transformation, map at least one output field to the downstream transformation.
To add an output field, click Add and then choose to add fields manually or to automatically create fields based on incoming fields. You can also generate some fields automatically and create other fields manually. If you choose to create output fields based on incoming fields, you can edit the generated metadata. When you add fields manually, enter the field name, data type, precision, and scale for each field.
After you add output fields, map them to incoming fields on the Field Mapping tab.

Generating output fields based on incoming fields

When you generate output fields based on incoming fields, Data Integrationuses incoming field metadata to automatically create corresponding output fields. You can choose to copy all incoming fields or only certain fields.
    1On the Output Fields tab, click Add and then select Generate output fields based on incoming fields.
    2Select the incoming fields that you want to use as the basis for output fields.
    Tip: Search for specific fields by entering the field name in the find field.
    3Click Select Fields.
    Data Integration creates output fields with the same name and metadata as the incoming fields that you selected.
