Data Calculator Simulation

Data Calculator lets you see changes applied as the data moves through the transformation rules. You may find this useful, for example, to see how changing a transformation rule affects outgoing data. Depending on the status of the Auto-Synchronization button, a transformation rule is immediately applied to the entire set of IN-port records after the rule is entered.

  • Toggle auto synchronization – auto synchronization immediately applies all changes to the transformation rules to the current set of records at the input port.

    Note:

    If Auto-Synchronization is disabled, you can manually trigger the processing of the input port data by selecting the Step option.

  • Manually apply all transformation rules to all current records at the input port. Click the Step icon on the toolbar.

  • Fetch another set of records – click the Step through the next incoming data buffer icon on the toolbar.

  • To step through input port records –

    • Click the appropriate record control on the toolbar.

    • Click Navigate and select the appropriate option.

    • Select a record from the Input Port Content list.

  • Search for keywords in the transformation rules – click the Search the Content of Transformation Rules icon on the toolbar.

    Note:

    The values shown on the Current Input Record area are updated as you change the current record.

  • Highlight null and empty values – click the Highlight NULL-Values and Empty Values icon on the toolbar.
