Reference List

The Reference List contains code templates (both built-in and custom) that you can drag into your filter rules and transformer steps. These include common operations like serializing to/from XML, performing a manual database query, or generating a unique ID. For additional information on code templates, see .

Rule/Step Table

The table in the top half of the Edit Filter / Transformer Views shows all the rules/steps you currently have configured. If you have Iterators, the elements are organized into a tree-table with the children underneath each Iterator. Column Description Enabled Determines whether the rule/step is currently enabled. When disabled, rules/steps are not executed at all, and act as if they were never there in the first place. For filters, this could change behavior as it follows the AND/OR order of operations. When all rules in a filter are disabled, the filter acts as if no rules exist, and is not executed at all. # This is the sequence number of the rule / step, starting at 0 for the first one. For child elements underneath an Iterator, this will be multiple numbers separated by a dash, to indicate the child index of each depth level. Name This is the name of the rule / step. If the type of rule / step allows user editing, you can double-click the cell to edit the name. For filter rules, y

Edit Filter / Transformer Views

This is where filter rules and transformer steps are configured. Although Edit Filter and Edit Transformer are different views, they are very similar and so are combined into this section. Also, the filter and transformer are actually executed together as a single script for each connector. Image of the Transformer view where rules and transformer steps are configured. Navigation Message Templates Tab The Message Templates tab enables you to edit the inbound and outbound message templates for your filter or transformer. Message Trees Tab The Message Trees tab enables you to view a tree representation of your inbound/outbound message templates set in the Message Templates tab.

Filter Tasks

The following context-specific tasks are available throughout the Edit Filter View: Task Icon Task Name Description Add New Rule Adds a new filter rule to the table. If an Iterator rule or any rule that is a child of an Iterator is currently selected, the new rule is placed at the end of the children of the most immediate parent Iterator. Otherwise, the new rule is placed at the very end of the list at the bottom of the table. Delete Rule Removes the currently selected rule from the table. If an Iterator rule is deleted, all of its children are also deleted. Assign To Iterator Adds the selected rule to a new or existing Iterator. For additional information, see Working With Iterators. Remove From Iterator Removes the selected rule from its current Iterator. For additional information, see Working With Iterators. Import Filter Imports a filter from an XML file. You can choose to completely replace the current filter or simply append the rules to the current table. For additional informa
