Rename by Constructions

Synopsis​

This operator renames the regular attributes of an ExampleSet by their construction descriptions if available.

Description​

The Rename by Constructions operator replaces the names of regular attributes of the given ExampleSet by their corresponding construction descriptions if the attribute was constructed at all. Please study the attached Example Process for better understanding.

Please keep in mind that attribute names must be unique. The Rename by Constructions operator has no impact on the type or role of an attribute. For example if you have an attribute named 'alpha' of integer type and regular role. Renaming the attribute to 'beta' will just change its name. It will retain its type integer and role regular. To change the role of an operator, use the <reference key="operator.set_role">Set Role</reference> operator. Many type conversion operators are available for changing the type of an attribute at 'Data Transformation/Type Conversion'.

Input​

example set input​

This input port expects an ExampleSet. It is the output of the Write Constructions operator in the attached Example Process. The output of other operators can also be used as input. It is essential that meta data should be attached with the data for the input because attributes are specified in their meta data.

Output​

example set output​

The ExampleSet with renamed attributes is output of this port.

original​

The ExampleSet that was given as input is passed without changing to the output through this port. This is usually used to reuse the same ExampleSet in further operators or to view the ExampleSet in the Results Workspace.
