| **Input name**  | <p>The input name is specified by the AMQP Consumer step. The following input names are assigned by default:</p><ul><li><em>message</em>: The individual message contained in a record.</li><li><em>queue name</em>: The queue to which records are published and received.</li><li><em>routing key</em>: The routing key associated with the dependent pattern type.</li><li><em>exchange name</em>: The exchange name from which messages are received.</li></ul> |
| **Output name** | Specify a substitute output name to use a field name that is different from the **Input name**. The data type of the output name must match the **Type** of the **Input name**.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| **Type**        | The type field defines the data format for streaming records. Options include **String** or **Binary**. The default value is String.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
