Runtime Resources

Similar to runtime properties, runtime resources are values that you define in an external filea file local to the Transformer and call from within a pipeline. But with runtime resources, you can restrict the permissions for the files to secure information.

Use runtime resources to store common configuration properties for multiple pipelines, like URLs for external systems. Note that any user who can create a pipeline can access the data stored in the resource files.

Tip: To more securely define sensitive values, use a credential store.
To implement runtime resources, perform the following steps:
  1. Define each runtime resource.
  2. Use an expression in the pipeline to call a runtime resource.
