The Get CDM fields step is used to retrieve CDM fields made available by an earlier transformation in the same Job.

When it completes, a transformation may export rows of data to the job it executed within. In the worked examples it is typical to have an input transformation which, for example, queries a database. This will then perform any necessary data preparation and use the Map to CDM step to produce a stream containing only rows of CDM fields. The input transformation then ends with a Copy rows to result step to export these rows. If the transformation is run in a job, the rows may be picked up by any subsequent transformations by using the Get CDM fields step.

This step cannot be configured and only imports CDM fields into the transformation.
