Constant Value Transformation

Overview

This transformation adds a new field to the adapter schema which is populated for each entity with the same given constant value.

Use Cases

The constant transformation can be used to accomplish the following:

• Ensuring solution required fields are always populated, even if by a placeholder value
• Flowing organisation hierarchy elements, such as domain name components or locations, into organisation structure fields that are always the same for entities in the adapter
• Sourcing constant fields to be used for multiple DN generators in the adapter's transformations, rather than having to add a constant DN component with the same value each time

Prerequisites

None.
