An embedded dataflow groups stages together into a single
stage, allowing you to simplify the layout of complex dataflows and set processing
options using field values.
-
In your dataflow, add the stages that you want to convert to an embedded
dataflow.
-
Select the stages you want to convert to an embedded dataflow by clicking and
dragging a box around the stages.
For example, this would select the Sorter and Transformer stages to convert
to an embedded dataflow.
Note: Report stages cannot be included in an embedded dataflow.
-
Right-click one of the selected stages and select Group into
Embedded Dataflow
-
Enter a name for the embedded dataflow. The name will be used as the label for
the embedded dataflow stage on the canvas.
-
Click OK.
The stages you selected are now grouped into an embedded dataflow. The following
example shows an embedded dataflow named SortTansform.
