Class ParameterSubstitution

java.lang.Object

com.ibm.di.util.ParameterSubstitution

public class ParameterSubstitution
extends java.lang.Object

This class provides the "Parameter Substitution" features of TDI. If you are expanding a pattern only once you can use the static method. If you expand a pattern more than once using different params, you could create an instance and call substitute(Map) to avoid parsing the template for every call. The substitute call uses a Map object where you provide the available objects for pattern expansion. You should at least provide "mc=MetamergeConfig" or "config=BaseConfiguration" object, otherwise expansion of TDI-properties will not work. If you want to expand alcomponent parameters, you need to provide a "config=BaseConfiguration" object.

 expression = system.getTDIExpression("{work.cn} {property.myprop}");
 map = new java.util.HashMap();
 map.put("mc", main.getMetamergeConfig());
 
 while ((work = nextentry()) != null) {
        map.put("work", work);
        task.logmsg(expression.substitute(map));
 }
