Abstract
In-line data packet transformations. A transformation engine obtains data to be transformed and determines a transformation to be applied to the data. The determining uses an input/output control block that includes at least one field to be used in determining the transformation to be applied. Based on determining the transformation to be applied, the transformation is performed.
Claims21
A computer program product for facilitating processing within a computing environment, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media to perform a method comprising:
- obtaining, by a transformation engine, data to be transformed;
- determining, by the transformation engine, a selected transformation to be applied to the data, the determining using an input/output control block, the input/output control block including at least one field to be used in determining the selected transformation to be applied, wherein a field of the at least one field identifies a transform type of a plurality of transform types that are defined for the field, the selected transformation being one transform type of the plurality of transform types to be specified using the field;
- and
- performing, by the transformation engine, the selected transformation, based on determining the selected transformation to be applied.
(canceled)
A computer system for facilitating processing within a computing environment, the computer system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer system is configured to perform a method, said method comprising:
- obtaining, by a transformation engine, data to be transformed;
- determining, by the transformation engine, a selected transformation to be applied to the data, the determining using an input/output control block, the input/output control block including at least one field to be used in determining the selected transformation to be applied, wherein a field of the at least one field identifies a transform type of a plurality of transform types that are defined for the field, the selected transformation being one transform type of the plurality of transform types to be specified using the field;
- and
- performing, by the transformation engine, the selected transformation, based on determining the selected transformation to be applied.
A computer-implemented method of facilitating processing within a computing environment, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining, by a transformation engine, data to be transformed;
- determining, by the transformation engine, a selected transformation to be applied to the data, the determining using an input/output control block, the input/output control block including at least one field to be used in determining the selected transformation to be applied, wherein a field of the at least one field identifies a transform type of a plurality of transform types that are defined for the field, the selected transformation being on transform type of the plurality of transform types to be specified using the field;
- and
- performing, by the transformation engine, the selected transformation, based on determining the selected transformation to be applied.
