Dynamic Buildop

Post by seanc217 »

I am investigating ways to create libraries that can be re-used.
I was wondering if there is anyway to make a build-op dynamic. That is can we pass it any columns in and process them?

It looks like a custom stage is dynamic enough since it has a mapping tab. As long as you have a orchestrate operator to use then this is good.

What have people done on this forum for dynamic libraries?

Thanks in advance...

What do you want to do with "any column" to process it..... ;-)

Well, a bit can be done with RCP activated. But, since you don't know what "any column" is, usually you can only pass them through the buildop without any specific processing. For whatever you plan to "really" do in a buildop, you will need to have at least "some" fix defined columns...

You could also write transformer functions to pass them "any column" to process them...
