Read File and pass details to ION API

I am Planning to create a Workflow that will read a file from FTP and pass the data to ION API. I have successfully setup Connection points and workflow.

How can I trigger this flow within ION Desk?

Sethu,

You need to create a document flow, which file connector as the first activity and then IONAPIConnection point as the next activity. In the IONAPI Connection Point, look into Technical Connectors Administrative Guide, there is a section on how to extract the content from BOD and send to ION API. IONAPIRef is the ion function which will facilitate it. Once you activate the document flow, the process should work.

Hi Sarada,

I need to pass part of XML to the IONAPI connection point in the Input Body. I am looking for how to extract the parts from XML using IONAPIRef.

If you can share an example that would be great. Also where can I find this " Technical Connectors Administrative Guide" that you mentioned.

The below code just sends out the contents of <data> tag as text, no xpath translation happens on the API call.

<body>
<data>{"IonApiRef":"SyncWSLKinesisMsg/DataArea/WSLKinesisMsg/PartitionKey"}</data>
</body>
