Dear community,

I need to use parameters in DI Studio. I have defined the parameters in the "Parameters" tab of the transformation (User Written Code), successfully tested them (each of them uses a specific dynamic list) in the transformation properties but when I run the transformation I do not get any prompt for the parameters.

Does anyone have an idea / hypothesis as to what is missing here?

Many thanks in advance

Cheers

Anne.

DI Studio is a development tool.

Parameters is meant to be popoluted/assigned values during execution time - main scope is batch mode.

Then of course from a unit testing perspective it would be nice to be able to interctively assign values from the DI Stuido UI. But unfortenately that is not how this works. So you need a way to assign the parameters temporarely, in a pre-step, or if you export the code to a separate code window/Enterprise Guide and assign the parameter value there manually.
