Port Groups and Port Selection

The Address Validator transformation contains predefined port groups that contain the input and output ports that you can use. When you configure an Address Validator transformation, you browse the groups and select the ports that you need.
Select input ports that correspond to the structure of the address input data. Select output ports that contain the address data that the project requires.
You can add input and output ports directly to the transformation, or you can create a default model that contains input and output ports. When you add ports directly to the transformation, the ports you select apply to that transformation only. When you add ports to the default model, the ports you select apply to future Address Validator transformations that you create.
You can also add pass-through ports to the transformation for columns that you do not want the Address Validator transformation to process.
