l
Entire Data: These properties are statically set at the start of a job, before anything
else. They cannot be changed once they have been set, in other words they are
global constants. They are mostly useful for static information such as folder
locations or server addresses.
l
Each Record: These properties are evaluated and set at the beginning of each
source record. Once they have been set, these properties can be modified via an
Action step (see "Action step" on page255), but they are always reset at the
beginning of each source record.
l
Runtime parameter: These properties initialize variables coming from the
PlanetPress Workflow process in which the data mapping configuration is applied.
A runtime parameter value cannot be changed once it is set.
Note
The source of a runtime parameter value must be selected in OL Connect
Workflow, in the Runtime Parameters section of the OL Connect task that
uses the data mapping configuration. (See All In One and Execute Data
Mapping.)
l
Type: The data type of the property. For more information see "Data types" on page276.
l
Default Value: The initial value of the property. This is a JavaScript expression. See
"DataMapper Scripts API" on page368.
Note
Since Entire data properties are evaluated before anything else, such as
Preprocessors, Delimiters and Boundaries in the Settings pane (see "Data
source settings" on page220), these properties cannot read information from the
data sample or from any records.
Preprocessor
The Preprocessor subsection defines what preprocessor tasks are performed on the data file
before it is handed over to the data mapping workflow. Preprocessor tasks can modify the data
file in many ways, and each task runs in turn, using the result of the previous one as an input.
