Resource output

This plug-in can be used in transformations to import resources into ConSol CM.

The following settings are available:

  • Step name: Specify the name of the transformation step. The default name is the name of the plugin.

  • Batch size: Specify how much data should be imported in one step.

  • Resource category: Select the resource category.

  • Resource type: Select the resource type.

  • Name of the resource ID field: Enter the name of the new field which should include the resource ID. The ID can be used in the following transformation steps for additional processing. This value is optional.

  • Input field: This column can include all fields of the previous transformation step. These fields are mapped to the resource fields of the ConSol CM resources. Click Get fields to load the current input fields.

  • Resource field: Select the resource field which should be mapped to the input field.

  • Operation type: Specify how the fields should be processed. All fields must have the same type set. The available options are:

    • Save: A field of this type is only created, but not updated.

    • Update A field of this type is only updated, but not created.

    • Select: A field of this type is only used for selection, but it is not created or updated. This works only for existing resources. An exception is thrown if the resource is not found. The selected resource can be used in the following transformation steps for additional processing.

    • Save or update: A field of this type is created (if the resource is not found), or updated (if the resource is found).

    • Save or select: A field of this type is only used for selection (if the resource is found) or creation (if the resource is not found), but not for update. The selected resource can be used in the following transformation steps for additional processing.

  • Search criterion: Possible values are true and false. The value true means that the resource field is used to find an already existing resource with the same data. All fields marked with true are used together for that search, therefore they should describe the unique key of a resource.
