Return Property Value

Function:

This tool is used to return values in the defined tool output parameters. This tool overrides the property values of the modelled output parameters with the values of the modelled input parameters. The tool supports mass processing and a file descriptor as output parameter.

Attributes:

Attribute Type Description
Mode [M] Selection Specifies the mode of the tool. The values determine the mapping:Property to Property or Property to Structured File Descriptor or Structured File Descriptor to Property.

Default = Property to Property

Parameters:

Parameter # I/O Type Description
1[M] I String/Mass Processing/File The source property or structured file descriptor, which value(s) are returned as property value(s) to the target property or are written in the has property relationship(s) of the target file descriptor.
2..* [O] I String/Mass Processing Further source properties, which values are returned as further property values to the target properties or are written in the has property relationships of the target file descriptor. Additional input parameters are not allowed if the first input parameter is of type File.
1 [M]   O String/Mass Processing /File The target property or a structured file descriptor. Type “File” is not allowed, if the first input parameter is from type “File”.
2..* [O] O String/Mass Processing Further target properties. It is not possible to combine a structured file descriptor with further target properties.

Supported scenarios:

By specifying a mass processing input and output parameter, the given property values of all given entity contexts are returned by the matching output parameters.

By specifying a single processing input and a mass processing output parameter, the given property value is returned for each mass processing context by the matching output parameter.

By specifying a single processing input and a single processing output parameter, the given property value is returned by the matching output parameter.

By specifying mass processing input parameters and structured file descriptor as an output parameter, a new line with the given property values is written into the file descriptor for every mass processing context.

By specifying single processing input parameters and structured file descriptor as an output parameter, one line with the given property values is written into the file descriptor. If single processing input parameters are used in a mass processing action, a new line with the given property values is written into the file descriptor for every mass processing context. The value in every line of the file descriptor is the same for the single processing input parameters.

By specifying a structured file descriptor as an input parameter and mass processing as an output parameter, property values of each line of the file descriptor are written in a new mass processing context.

By specifying a structured file descriptor as an input parameter and single processing as an output parameter, property values of the first line of the file descriptor are returned to the corresponding output parameters.
