You can specify that a transformation extension extends
an existing transform by adding an ExtendTransform element in the
manifest of the transformation extension. The transform that you extend
must exist in the target transformation that you specify in the targetTransformation
attribute of the TransformationExtension element.
About this task
To add an ExtendTransform element to the transformation extension:
What to do next
The ExtendTransform element is added to the Extensions tab,
in the hierarchy of the TransformationExtension element. You can now
add the rules, extractors, and transforms to the extended transform,
and specify the order in which the elements run.
Note: You can
add an ExtendTransform element by editing the plugin.xml file of the
plug-in that contains the transformation extension. The ExtendTransform
element must contain an attribute called targetTransform and optional
attributes called name and id.
