Rename Transformation
Overview
The rename transformation is used to rename one or more fields in the adapter.
Use Cases
The rename transformation can be used to accomplish the following:
- Changing difficult system field names into names more easily understood by solution implementers. For example, a connector field "SZCNO" may be mapped to the name "SectionNumber"
- Allowing LDIF compliance by removing non-compliant symbols from field names
Prerequisites
None.
Contribution
This transformation updates the name of an existing set of source columns to new target names.
Configuration
The rename transformation requires the following by way of configuration:
The above configuration takes the field ID and renames it to UserIdentifier.
Column Mappings
One to many column mappings can be added, which rename adapter schema fields up to the current point.
Each column mapping requires the following by way of configuration:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Source Column | The source attribute to rename. |
| Target Column | The new name for the attribute. |
Change Processing
During the change detection process, a change will be flagged if any of the base moved fields have been updated. This is usually already accounted for by the base or relational connector.
