how many types of user defined functions are there?

Hi Ramakrishna,

A user-defined function is only visible in the message mapping in which you created it. You can insert the function in the data-flow editor as a standard function by using the User-Defined function category.

You can use the following user-defined functions:

1.Simple functions, which can process individual field input values for each function call. Simple functions therefore expect strings as input values and return a string.

2.Advanced functions, which can process several field input values for each function call. You can import either all field values of a context or the whole queue for the field in an array before calling the function. For more information, see Advanced User-Defined Functions.

Advanced user-defined functions, which can process more than just individual field values.Instead, you can import a complete context or an entire queue for a field as an array before your function is called

Hi,

earlier their used to be two types of UDF

1. Simple

2. Advanced

But in PI 7.0, there is only 1 type, but with the option of taking values, or context or the queue.

Hope this would suffice you.

If yes, kindly reward.
