Processing Instructions Tab

Processing instructions allow customization and extension of import processing on fields and relations.

A processing instruction is a name value pair that can be set on any field or relation available for import in TCC. The attribute name is a predefined string understood by a component in TCC indicating that special processing is required. The instruction is processed locally by TCC, before or after the import depending on the particular instruction.

Processing Instructions List

An ordered list of all the fields and relations that require processing instructions is built by dragging and dropping them from the Entity view Structure section. The Up and Down buttons allows sorting the fields and relations in the required order. The remove button deletes selected fields and relations. The Add button creates a blank processing instruction subject.

Processing Instruction

• Path

  Path of the field or relation for which a processing instruction is specified.

  For a blank processing instruction subject, the path to a valid field or relation can be entered manually.

• Instructions

  The add button enables the user to enter the instruction name value pair. Only predefined instructions are understood by TCC. Setting an invalid or unknown instruction will be ignored and have no effect.

  The remove button deletes the selected instruction.
