Config Example

<dataPoint name="NAME" dataType="STRING">
    <consolidationAlgorithm name="AGG_CHANGE_NAME" entity="GEN_EXPRESS">
        <config>
            <![CDATA[
                #GRV{
                    CTX['.'] = 'First Name =' + CTX['.']
                }
            ]]>
        </config>
    </consolidationAlgorithm>
</dataPoint>

Example Result

data point "NAME" sources the value "John"
the algorithm "AGG_CHANGE_NAME" concatenates the string value of "First Name =" to the start of the current value of the "NAME" data point.
final value for "NAME" data point: "First Name =Thomas"
