Transformer stage

[vijaykumar]

Hi Gurus,

Basic transformer can do all the manipulations to the columns, i mean we can define everything in the transformer stage properties . why else another transformer stage is in parallel edition.I observed that in the transformer stage we can enable run time column propogation,Is there any other in-built functionality in transformer stage when compared to Basic transformer stage.
Gurus please help me to analyze.

cheers;

Retrieval of environment variable value

Did I mention speed?

Performance of the Transformer stage in version 7.5.1A (?) was significantly enhanced. Switch and Filter stages are effectively interpreted, whereas the Transformer stage is compiled.
