Conversion using common components

You can use the common component that is made of the common processing used in data processing.

If you can use the common components for common processing for multiple data processing operations, the workload of creating data processing information for each processing operation can be reduced. In addition, you can call the common component as the verified processing for validating an item (such as ID check) or for a general date check. As a result, you can reuse the proven resource and improve the efficiency of development.

When you use common components, you can create up to 10 components such as functions and virtual queries, and register them as common component information. A component to create a Lua script is also provided to create and register a unique processing operation. A template for routine processing is also provided.

Figure 4.17 Conversion using common components

The processing using the common component is illustrated in the following figure. In this example, the common component specifies as the extraction condition the Lua script that transcodes and returns letters to uppercase, and the conversion uses the common component to return the output by filtering the records whose item 1 equals to 'AAAA' when it is transcoded to uppercase by the script.
