},
processedFilePath:String: The path of the currently processed file, if a file was processed,

These properties can be used in various Steps as part of the configuration. So for example, the Path of a destination may be {@processedFileName} or the filename could be created from a set of parameters e.g.

In a calculator, the entire object is passed as the parameter "input":

In a Field Mapper, use the parameters inline or as part of a handlebars template as per the example in the image below.
