You probably need to specify passthru on most snaps
Using passthru results in some messy json that can complicate things by the time it gets to the end, and it seems that there are some snaps that don’t have the passthru option.
I’m not sure how I can use jsonpath($.“$…PARAMNAME”) for this issue. Can I pass the variable somehow using this?
Thanks.
You define PARAMNAME at the beginning of the pipeline, use passthru where possible, and when you want to use the PARAMNAME later, you use jsonpath to get it.
Other possibility is you get the PARAMNAME value, then use a COPY snap with multiple outputs. Then you use a JOIN snap to bring the value back into the pipeline at other later locations where you need it.
Thanks for the explanation! This sounds like a useful techique.
