Initializer

The Initializer is script that is run prior to the Transformation mapping.

Description

The Initializer is script that is run prior to the Transformation mapping. It has access to all Transformation arguments, as well as "source" and "destination". It usually defines functions and constants used in mappings or manipulates the source record.

If unspecified, the initializer from the base transformation will be used, if any. If "()", then no initializer script will be run, even if the base transformation has an initializer. To call the base transformation initializer, use "(call-next)".
