Change Emulation
Change Emulation action tasks are used to tell the tasks that follow them to use a different
emulation to format the data they receive. So these tasks do not perform any operation as such
on the data, but rather they modify the way subsequent tasks process the data they receive.
Change Emulation action tasks are typically used when a secondary input task brings new
data that is not structured like the initial data into the process. By default, every task included in
a process uses the emulation associated with the sample data file to structure the data before it
processes it. Any task that must use a different emulation must be preceded by a Change
Emulation action task. All the tasks that follow on the same branch will use the emulation
chosen in the Change Emulation task.
