ION API Mapper

As shown in the first screen, we want to send a BOD to an ION API.

The first task of the document flow is an application that sends a BOD from LN, the second task contains a GET call from a REST Web Service that returns a JSON and the third one is a file task that should obtain the JSON response.

As shown in the second screen we pass an hard coded test parameter to the GET call and it works. Is it possible to pass a value from the BOD?

We also want to write the JSON response to a document and do a mapping with a BOD. We wondered how "Manual mapping" works and if it's possible to do so.

In the ION API documentation there isn't any information about this, any help will be appreciated.

Thank you very much

Hi Elio:

Here are my answers:

Is it possible to pass a value from the BOD? - Yes. You can do that by chosing the Path option in the radio button and specifying the x-Path in the BOD from where you want to extract the value.
We also want to write the JSON response to a document and do a mapping with a BOD. We wondered how "Manual mapping" works and if it's possible? - Not yet. This is eventually possible with the scripting solution we are working on. but today, this is not yet possible. If your source is an IONAPI, you could get the JSON response from an API and can intrinsically convert that to a BOD. I think in the other thread I explained a bit more about this topic too. https://community.inforxtreme.com/infor-ion/f/document-flows/11142/application-ims/30961#30961

Hope this helps.

Best Regards

Hi,

I have a requirement as below, Please check is it possible?

Same as this discussion ION api will trigger based on the M3 BOD.

Yes then I can convert API response in to BOD.

My requirement is to adding few more additional fields in to API response BOD. Those fields are taking from the input BOD.

because as I know when we trigger ION API from BOD (ex:- syncItemMaster) then after data flow carrying the API response document to further. Initial BOD (syncItemMaster) is no longer available. But I need few more fields from initial BOD (syncItemMaster) to fulfill my requirement. So if I can append those extra fields with API response then I can go forward.

Thanks
