Transformer Template

Transformer template contains settings of custom transformer object that is available to use on developing ETL tasks. Template settings enable the user to specify a macro in the Fore/Fore.NET language that contains implementation of the transformer object. After creating and setup of the template, the corresponding object is available on the Data Transformers tab. The same operations used for main ETL task objects are available for this object.
