ION Mapper: Not able to connect to target while writing custom function in Function Modeler

Hi,

I am trying to create a custom function using function modeler in ION Graphical Mapper. I am not able to map source to target, as I see that option on the right click disabled. Attaching screenshot here. Please suggest if there is any step wrong or missing or kindly let me know how to model a custom function.

In the function code I have written '<xsl:value-of select="xs:anyURI($FileName)"/>'.

The agenda of the function is to cast a string to anyURI format so that it can be mapped to an anyURI field.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Ridhima

Hi Ridhima.

Are you using your source element? You can click and drag the arrow icon from your source element (FileName) and drop it on the UDF by hovering over the UDF's input parameter (also FileName).

This should complete a valid function.

Hi Mike,

Yes, I am using the source element(FileName) but when I try to link it to the function's input parameters(again FileName) by dragging through arrow icon, it's not working as that connect link is not coming up; it seems disabled.

Please suggest what could be the reason on it being disabled.

Regards,

Ridhima
