TransferClusterPropertiesAcrossGenOp

Parameter Type Description

Operator String Specifies the generator operator on which the cluster property transfer will be performed.

Object String Specifies an output object to which the new cluster property will be added.

ClusterPropsToTransfer Selection list Specifies the cluster properties to transfer to the new cluster property.

ClusterPropertyName String Specifies the name of the new cluster property.

RebindClusterProperties Boolean True implies that the properties already transferred which may refer to the new cluster property are updated to refer to it by name.

Note: Currently not implemented.
Default Value: True
