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, 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.
