Changing Transformer Type

The transformer is used in the mapping activity to convert source data stream to XML and then XML to target data stream. There are two types of transformers:

  • Stream2XMLStream/XMLStream2stream: This transformer converts the source data to XML (that is, Stream2XMLStream) and then XML to target data (that is, XMLStream2Stream). This transformer is used when a mapping activity is used in the process flow. In this case, Stream2XMLStream is used in the source schema and XMLStream2stream is used in the target schema.
  • SchemaStream2Record/SchemaRecord2Stream: This transformer converts the source data to an intermediate format (that is, SchemaStream2Record) and then intermediate format to target data (that is, SchemaRecord2Stream). This transformer is used when record to record process of the data is required.

To change the transformer type:

  1. Right-click the schema activity in the Graph Canvas Area and select View Properties. Properties of the selected schema activity are displayed in the Properties Panel.

  2. Select the required transformer type (for example, Stream2XMLStream in case of source schema and XMLStream2Stream in case of target schema) from the Transformer drop-down list.
