3.5.2 Auto-completion of property values

Auto-completion of property values is a function of automatically setting mapping of property values when defining the execution order of steps in the Flow area. If you enable auto-completion of property values, property mapping of the connection-source step and connection-destination step is automatically set when steps are connected by a relational line. If property mapping has already been set before auto-completion is performed, the old setting is overwritten with the new setting.

In the Step Properties area, [Figure] is displayed for the properties for which auto-completion was performed. remains displayed until another step is selected. If is displayed for a property, check whether the desired setting has been specified for the step for which auto-completion was performed. If the setting for the step is not what you designed, set the mapping again.

The following describes the method and behavior when setting mapping:

Setting mapping for the input property and the output property of steps

If the output property of the connection-source step and the input property of the connection-destination step of a relational line have the same property key, the reference to the output property is set for the input property.

Setting mapping for the input properties of steps

If the input properties of the connection-source step and the connection-destination step of a relational line have the same property key and data type, the input property value of the connection-source step is set for the input property value of the connection-destination step.

Note that, even if you change the input property value of the connection-source step after auto-completion is performed, the input property value of the connection-destination step will not be changed.

Tip

Auto-completion is not performed in the following cases:

The connection-source step and connection-destination step of a relational line are using service components, and mapping has already been set between the internal step properties.

If auto-completion of property values is not performed in other than the above cases, the connection-source step or connection-destination step might be deployed by using any version earlier than JP1/AO 10-02. In that case, deploy the steps again by using the same components. Then these steps will be subject to auto-completion.
