Transform Plugins

Transforms are the cornerstone of HOP, they are used to process and transform your data, they are the building blocks that are used to create a pipeline. The pages nested under this topic contain information on how to use the transforms and what you have to pay attention too when using them.

Not every transform can sit at the start of a pipeline. Pipeline sources produce rows without incoming hops (Generate Rows, file readers, Get Variables, \ldots). In Hop Gui, search for pipeline source in the add-transform dialog; Verify comments the same transforms.

Field tables often share Format, Length, Precision, Decimal, Group and Currency columns. Those are explained once in Formatting numbers and dates.
