Transformer configuration

In addition to inputs and outputs, a Transformer can also have additional configuration options assigned to it. They break down into a few categories, which will be explained further:

  • environment: Configuration options that can be set by users when submitting a Pipeline that uses this Transformer.

  • static_environment: Environment variables that are set to a specific value; unmodifiable at submission time.

  • environment_mapping: A special block that allows environment variables to be renamed - this is helpful when bringing an existing application in as a Transformer.

  • engine_provided_environment: Special environment variables that are only known by the Pipeline Engine when instantiating a Pipeline.

  • file_configuration: Templatized configurations for files, as opposed to environment variables.

  • properties: Configuration properties for rdp_workflow type transformers that may be static or supplied by the user at runtime.
