Export metadata is a processor that allows saving a metadata dataset associated with the incoming job to a standalone file. The tool merely copies the dataset's backing file to the output location without any transformations. The XSLT transform tool can be used to transform the exported metadata if needed.
The outgoing log connections carry the exported metadata; the outgoing data connections carry the incoming job without change. If the incoming job has no dataset with the specified name, no log output is generated.
