The Transformer lets you transform the original value to another value within an attribute for your input data or output data. This transformation occurs on an "every occurrence basis" for the specified attribute unless there is a condition. Input actions are performed on the input rows prior to copying of data to output. Output actions are performed on the output rows after copying of data to output.
