Graphical Mapping - Disgard empty

Posted on May 04, 2011 at 03:52 PM 12 Views

In a graphical mapping, if the source element contains no data, I would like to not create the element in the destination.

My intention is that if there is an empty XML message being passed (that is that the tags do not contain data) that a message will not be generated thus preventing 'empty' messages from being delivered to the receiver.

    You can also use the following:

    SourceField -> Exists -> CreateIf -> TargetField

    use exists and followed by if without else function to map only if the value exist for the mapping.

    Quite a common requirement and easy solutions:

    1. Standard functions:

    FIELD01 -> equalsS: -> not -> createIf -> target

    2. UDF:

    "a" is the source field..

    this udf will suppress the node when the input is null or empty..

    if( (a == null) || (a.length == 0) )

    {

    result.addSuppress();

    }

    These will stop an individual object, I want to stop the entire message cold.
