Using the Iterator mode

It is very common to have an Iterator drive the AssemblyLine.

The most common pattern for using a Connector in Iterator mode is:

1. Using the Config Editor, add a Connector in Iterator mode to our workspace. See Creating a Connector.

2. Set the mode (Iterator) and other connection parameters for this Connector in the Connection tab; required parameters are marked with an asterisk (*). Some Connectors require you to configure a Parser as well in the Parser tab.

3. Set up the Attribute Map; see Input Attribute mapping.

These mapped Attributes are retrieved from the data source, placed in the Work entry, and passed to the Connectors in the Flow section in the AssemblyLine.

If you did not create the Connector directly inside an AssemblyLine, then in order to use this Connector in an AssemblyLine, drag the Connector from its location in <workspace>/Resources/Connectors to the Feed section of an AssemblyLine.
