Initialization Hooks (Iterator)

These hooks are called when the AssemblyLine loads and initializes the connectors. This happens between the two prologs before and after connector initialization. For the Iterator mode you have two additional hooks that is called before and after the connector is selecting entries for iteration (e.g. the SELECT statement for the JDBC connector etc..)

The Before Initialize hook is one of two places you can dynamically change the connector configuration before the assembly line starts using it (the other place is the Before Connectors Initialized under Prolog). If you have, say, a file connector named input you could change the filename with the following statement:

input.connector.setParam ( "filePath", "another-input.txt" );
