Replacing JET action parameter values with input model references

You can set the parameters of a JET action to reference the attributes or elements in an input model. When you refine the transformation input schema, JET action parameter values that you select can include XPath expressions that correspond to elements in the transformation input schema. When you run the JET transformation by using an input model, JET replaces the XPath expression with the values in the input model. This functionality enables you to modify the behavior of a JET action based on values in the input model.

Before you begin

You must have a transformation model file open. A transformation model file has the name transform.tma.

You must have at least one JET action defined in the transformation input schema.

About this task

To replace a JET action with an element in the input schema:

Procedure

  1. In the editor area, in the Transformation input schema and output actions pane, click a JET file action.
  2. Click the Properties view. If the Properties view is not open, right-click the JET action; then click Show Properties View.
  3. Expand the Action Parameters section to edit the action parameters.
  4. In the Value column, right-click the value to replace; then click Replace with Model Reference.
  5. In the Replace with Model References dialog box, click the model reference that replaces the value that you selected in the previous step; then click OK.
  6. Click File > Save.
