Move

Overview

You can define the Move transform between single simple elements or between complex type elements.

You can only connect one input to the Move transform. You must use a primary connection to connect the input element to the transform.

You can use the Move transform between complex type input and output elements only if the input and output have the same type, or if the type of the input is derived from the type of output; for example, if the input element's type is USAddress and the output type is Address.

Define when the transform is applied at run time

You can define multiple connections between input elements and the Move transform. You can then use these input elements in a conditional expression that defines the condition under which the transform is applied. If the condition evaluates to true, the transform is applied.

You can use the input connected with a primary connection to the transform. To add more inputs, you can define supplement connections between input elements and the transform.

Alternatively, to define the conditional expression, you can call a static method on an imported Java™ class. You can also create a complex expression comprising XPath, Java and extension functions such as iib:getUserDefinedProperty("propertyname").  

You configure the expression in the Condition tab that is available in the Properties page of the transform.
