Assigning a Default Value for a Destination Node
About this task
You can assign a default value for a destination node in a map. A destination node of a map is displayed in the mapping pane. The following figure shows the To Orchestration pane. How the default value is used during run time depends if a link is assigned to the destination node as described in the following cases:
- Define a default value for a destination node that does not have
a link from a source node or function as shown in the following figure:For this case, the specified constant value is always assigned to the destination node during run time.
- Define a default value for a destination node that has a link
from a source node or function as shown in the following figure:
For this case, the specified value is only assigned to the destination node, if the link from the source node or a function to the destination node does not provide a value for the destination node during run time.
You can also use configuration properties to supply the default values for destination nodes of a map of a mapping pane as described in step 2 of the following procedure. You must create the configuration property before defining the default value as described in the following procedure.
To define a default value for a destination node:
