You can use the following fields in the Parameters tab to define or pass Kettle variables down to the mapping sub-transformation.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Variable Name | Add a string you want to assign as a variable. |
| String Value (can include variable expressions) | Add the value you want to assign to this variable name. It is possible to include variable expressions in the string values for the variable names. |
| Inherit all variables from the parent transformation |
Select this option to make all variables that are available in the parent transformation available in the sub-transformation, even if they are not explicitly specified in the Parameters tab. |
Note: When this option is not checked,
only those variables/values that are specified are passed down to the
sub-transformation.
