    try{
        this._base.setSource("key").setTarget("target")
    } catch(ex) {
        node._base.error(ex,"Invalid setup "+ex.message);
        return;
    }
    node.on("input",function (msg) {
        try{
            const key=node.getKey(msg);
            node.setTarget(key,msg);
            node.send(msg);
        } catch(ex) {
