Hi all,

Can i get a detailed explanation on Node functions..

please not the general links....... I want simple clear examples to explain each of the below listed node functions in detail :

1.createIf,

2.removeContexts,

3.replaceValue,

4.Exists,

5.SplitByValue,

6.collapseContexts,

7.useOneAsMany,

8.sort,

9.sortByKey,

10.mapwithDefault,

11.formatByExample

please hurry up...

thanks in advance

Function Category: Node Functions

Function

Use

createIf

If there are structuring elements in your target structure that do not exist in the source structure, insert them using this function. Using condition I you can control whether the element is inserted or not. You connect the element in the target structure using O.

removeContexts

Removes all higher-level contexts of a source field. In this way, you can delete all hierarchy levels and generate a list.

replaceValue

Replaces the value I with a value that you can define in the dialog for the function properties.

exists

O = true, if the source field assigned to inbound channel I exists in the XML instance. Otherwise, false.

SplitByValue

Inserts a context change for an element.

collapseContexts

Deletes all values from all contexts from the inbound queue except for the first value. Empty contexts (= ResultList.SUPPRESS) are replaced by empty strings. Only one queue remains, which consists of contexts that contain just one value each. Finally, all internal context changes are deleted, so that all values belong to one and the same context.

useOneAsMany

Replicates a value of a field occurring once to pair it as a record with the values of a field occurring more than once.

sort

Sorts all values of the multiply-occurring inbound field I within the existing or set context. The sorting process is stable (the order of elements that are the same is not switched) and it sorts the values in O(n*log(n)) steps. Using the function properties, you can specify whether values are to be sorted numerically or lexicographically (case-sensitive or non case-sensitive) and in ascending or descending order.

sortByKey

Like sort, but with two inbound parameters to sort (key/value) pairs. The sort process can be compared to that of a table with two columns.

● Using the first parameter, you pass key values from the first column, which are used to sort the table. If you have classified the key values as numeric in the function properties, they must not be equal to the constant ResultList.SUPPRESS. See also: The ResultList Object

● Using the second parameter, you pass the values from the second column of the table.

If there is a discrepancy between the number of keys and values, the mapping runtime triggers an exception. The function returns a queue with the values sorted according to the keys.

mapWithDefault

Replaces empty contexts in the inbound queue with a default value, which you specify in the function properties.

Example:

If “Default” is the default value and

A|B1,B2| |C| |D

is the inbound queue,

mapWithDefault returns the following outbound queue:

A | B1,B2 | Default | C | Default |D.

The function corresponds to the following combination of standard functions:

If(

[]field,

exists([]field),

Constant([value=default]))

formatByExample

This function has two inbound queues, which must both have the same number of values. To generate the result queue, the function takes the values from the first queue and combines them with the context changes from the second queue.

Nice blogs..
