How do Transform Stage constraints work?

Post by tbtcust »

Hi all.

I have a single sequential file linked to a transform stage. That transform stage is linked to three sequential output files. From the transform stage records will be sent to their respective output files via the constraints. Some records meet the criteria of more than one the constraint.

Does the transform stage stop testing all constrains after one has been met
Does the transform stage test constrains from top to bottom in the order that they appear?

Thanks in advance for any help.

No.

They are tested in Link Execution order and the derivations are processed if the contraint equates to TRUE.
