Accessor-copy The Accessor-copy Transformer is used to copy a part of the entity data to another location within the entity data, while leaving the original content unchanged. If there is no reason to keep the original data, then it is better to use the Accessor-move Transformer. For example, this can be particularly handy when a target system requires a shipping and a billing address, but the source system only provides a shipping address. In this case, the Accessor-copy can be put to work to clone the shipping address to a billing address field.

The different parts of the transformer

  • Source Accessor (required field) An Accessor is a tool that can be used to find data in the context data based on a pattern.
  • Destination Accessor (required field) This functions similarly to the Source Accessor but helps determine where the data needs to be pasted within the entity.
  • Strip enclosures from keys Enclosures are used when a key contains a dot (e.g., product.name becomes “product.name”). When the enclosure is stripped, the key is interpreted as a path if the destination is a pattern or key accessor.
