Task Translator
This activity shape is associated with transforming data.
...
This activity shape uses custom Message Center commands and should not be used for xml2xml transformation. For xml2xml transformation, Eagle recommends using the XSLT Translator shape.
The following table describes the shape's properties.
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Default is task_translator. |
Description | Text displayed below the shape in the workflow diagram |
Source | Location of the .ejmtsk file containing the definition of the translator. The field is read-only. |
Stream | Instead of creating the translator from scratch in the IWS, it is possible to assign existing Message Center stream to the shape. This should be done after dropping the shape onto canvas, while it is sill just a shell. |
OutParams | List of output parameters, to be used by further shapes/steps. It is not enough to simply populate the variables inside of the translator. Special coding is required to make them visible outside of the translator. |
Send notifications | This is a dropdown field. |
DataTaskEmailDistribution | This is a checkbox field. |
ResponseNotificationEmail | This is a checkbox field. |
ASKNotificationEmail | This is a checkbox field. |
File/Execution Count | Limit to the number of additional files to be processed. (Only applicable if begin shape has "allow extra files per load" option turned on.) |
Condition to Execute | Condition which will define when to execute the step and when not to. The default value is 1 (Yes) |

Custom Parameters | List of the parameters to be visible inside the translator. They can be expressions based on TSR values or variables returned by prior steps. |
TSR Transform Stream | (advanced) This field allows you to use custom stream, which transforms the content and format of Task Status Response (TSR) message before sending it out. |
TSR Name Prefix | String literal which will be added to the beginning of the TSR file. |
ACK Name Prefix | String literal which will be added to the beginning of the ACK file. |
Custom TSR Location | Folder where TSR messages for current workflow should be delivered |
Custom ACK Location | Folder where ACK messages for current workflow should be delivered |
Comment | Text displayed above the shape in the workflow diagram |
MEMO | Arbitrary custom text. It can be used for any descriptive purposes. It is not displayed anywhere on the diagram. |
