Run a transformation. Transformations can perform any tasks including imports, exports, email notifications, data recognition and cleansing, integration to local systems and web services. Transformations can be run on a trigger, on a scheduled batch job or can be started by an application user from a menu item.
Parameters for the transformation are passed in XML form via this parameter
e.g. <p><AssetID>3</AssetID><DepreciationTypeID>7</DepreciationTypeID></p>
Either a list of transformations to run with the transformation name (DBTransformDesc) or the TransformationID, with one transformation listed per array element.
Special keywords can also be placed in any argument as follows:
TEST : Run the transformation normally, but then rollback the result such that any database changes do not take effect
SUPER : Run the transformation in the SUPER batch queue. This enables transformations to run as a batch job while other batch jobs are running. Take care with potential Sql Server table locking issues when using this option
QUEUE : Run the transformation in the normal batch queue. This enables the transformation to run and the end user can continue to use the system while it runs. The default is to not queue the transformation as a batch job, then the call does not return until the transformation has finished
