How to get the metadata for a post-processing integration input?

Hi Anna,

I did exactly that, but thought there might be a faster way.

It would be nice if the PP Integration input would give it's processingID!

Agree. There is already a pain in creating a PP for each of the catalog items which is not a great solution if you have 100’s of table. 

secondly, without Catalog name, ID. this feature is half baked. The developers have created without thinking how the end user will implement it.

Hi Siva,

In the Desktop IDE the Integration Input could give a second output: The ID of the instance.
