Use
Data-Transform to Map Properties of an Integration Service
(JSON)
This question has been Answered.

(/users/smithar1) SmithaR1 (/users/smithar1) November 8, 2016 - 11:34pm

Hi ,

We have an Integration Service con gured in Pega to accept JSON requests.

We need to map the properties in the JSON to a Data Page . The property names are di erent in JSON.

Say we have emp_name in JSON , which we need to map to EMPLOYEE_NAME in our application .

How do we accomplish this ? We used a Data- Transform to map properties but we are not sure how we can get the JSON request in this Data-
Transform.

We tried using a param with the same name as the JSON request property (emp_name) . But this was empty in the Data Transform .

How can we access the JSON request values from within the Data Transform?

Thanks,

Smitha R

You should be able to map request to JSON type on clipboard from Service-REST rule itself as in request tab you set 'map to' as 'JSON' and 'map to key' as a pagelist
property and rest of the data modelling will be dynamically taken care on clipboard you just need to refer the values later from clipboard wherever required. For
example as you want to use data transform you can use the pagelist which has request data as source (seggregated with proper indexes) and set it to target property.

Are you parsing JSON and mapping to clipboard or generating JSON from clipboard?
