Can we use the output of one reference input in the other?

Post by Minhajuddin »

Hi
Can we use the output of one input reference link in a transformer as the input to another reference link in the same transformer. How can we achieve this?
Thanks

Yes, It is possible. Depends on your design....

Possible but not really recommended. You have to define it manually as it can't be done via dragging within the GUI. And it will always stay red, so you'd want to include an annotation that you were doing that on purpose and expecting the 'looks like an error' result.

Doh... in the Server forum, you'll more than likely get a Server answer.

Hi
I am sorry for the confusion. But It is a server job I am talking about.
How can we do this in a transformer?

Why did you mark the job type as Parallel? That's what led to the confusion, at least for some people.

I already explained the 'how' for a Server job.
