Replacing text in JET templates with input model references

You can find or replace text in a JET template with a JET tag that references a value in the input model.

You must have at least one input schema element or JET file action defined in the transformation input schema, and at least one JET template must have been generated as a result of running the Update Project command.

To find text in a JET template, or replace text with a JET tag:

In the Project Explorer view, double-click a JET template. JET templates have .jet as a file name extension.
Select the text that you want to find or replace, right-click it; then click Find/Replace with JET Model Reference.
In the Find/Replace with Model References dialog box, complete one of the following steps:
- To find the next occurrence of the text in the Find field, click Find.
- To replace instances of the text in the Find field, select an input schema element from the hierarchy. The JET tag that corresponds to the selected input schema element is displayed in the Replace with field.
- To create a derived attribute to replace text in the current JET file, click New and complete the fields in the Create New Derived Attribute window.
Tip: You can select or clear the Whole word and Case sensitive check boxes to refine your search.
Click Close.
Click File > Save.

If you replace text, a JET Replace message appears in the Problems view for each instance of the text to be replaced, and an icon appears in the left margin of the line that contains the text to be replaced. When you resolve the JET Replace markers, these messages are removed from the Problems view and the JET file. Information about the JET Replace markers is stored in the transform.tma file in the current project.

Note: You can resolve JET Replace markers by clicking the JET Replace message in the JET file or in the Properties view; then click Edit > Quick Fix, and select the appropriate resolution. The proposed resolutions show replacement values for all the markers that contain the current selection. The proposed resolution for the longest string appears first.
