The DB Staging component impacts the flow of the simulation by first
retrieving all data from the original data sources, then they act as a new data
source for subsequent components. Both components allow overwriting of
Read Block Size value of the original source components.

Data Splitter component
The Data Splitter allows splitting an incoming data stream into multiple
outgoing data streams. By default the component is configured with two OUT-
Ports. Additional ports can be added. The distribution of records is controlled
by port conditions. You can define overlapping port conditions that are not
mutually exclusive.
Note The number of records forwarded by the Data Splitter to the OUT-Ports
can be greater than the number of incoming records. If a single record matches
more than one port condition, it will be available on all of these ports.
Use Data Splitter to split up (or copy) a data stream of records according to user
defined conditions.
After adding the component to the project, the Data Splitter window comes up
with two default ports. The port conditions for the OUT1 and OUT2 port are
pre-set to 1. Because this condition is always true (regardless of the current
values if the IN port), it will copy all incoming records to both output ports.
The current set of input data is shown in the upper part of the component
window. Selecting a record in the upper window causes the lower portion of
the window to signal if the port conditions are met (green) or not (red).
To customize the Data Splitter, customize the port conditions and add ports.
