RE: What are Stage Variables, Derivations and Constant...
 
Hi:

I dont think so previous posts are correct.

The correct order is :

1. stage variable
2. derivation
3. Constraint(it is like a condition in the transformer). Before sending any info to targer, we can filter the data by using stage variable as a constraint or condtion.

Hanu.
