About Transformers

A transformer is the piece of a connector that modifies a message, converts a message from one format to another, and extracts pieces of the message for later use. It is configured on the Edit Transformer View within either the Source Tab or Destinations Tab within the Edit Channel View. A transformer has an inbound data type, and an outbound data type. These may be the same (e.g. HL7 v2.x to HL7 v2.x), or they could be different (e.g. HL7 v2.x to JSON). For additional information on data types, see About Data Types. A transformer is also comprised of multiple steps. Each transformer step modifies the message, extracts a piece of the message, or performs some other general task.

Message Templates Tab

The Message Templates tab is located on the right side of the Edit Filter / Transformer View and enables you to edit the inbound and outbound message templates for your filter or transformer. Both templates can be used in the filter / transformer for easy reference and drag-and-drop capabilities, but only the outbound template has any effect on message processing. If an outbound template is specified, you will see the Message Templates title appear bold in the tab list. Note: The Outbound template is only visible for transformers and response transformers. When you edit a connector's filter, you only see the Inbound template. Edit Data Types You can edit the properties for the destination transformer's inbound data type.

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. Reference Tab The Reference tab provides helpful variables and templates you can use within your filter rules and transformer steps.
