Field

Description

Enter the external name of the header field.

Enter a short description of the header field.

Specify the destination or the type of destination for the value in PRPC:

• Clipboard — map to the page name or property on the clipboard specified by the Map To Key field.
• If additional choices appear, they identify a custom function rule in a MapTo library. Review the function rule to determine what it does.

Specify the key to locating the property or the rule in the destination specified in the Map To field:

• If the Map To value is Clipboard, enter the property name to which the data is mapped at runtime.
• If the Map To value is a function rule, either select a property to hold the results of the function or leave this field blank, as appropriate for the function.

Field

Description

The data type of the message data is String. Enter a short description of the incoming string.

Specify the destination or the type of destination for the value in PRPC:

• Clipboard — Map to the page name or property on the clipboard specified by the Map To Key field.
• Parse XMLRule — The incoming data is a stream of XML that must be parsed using the actions defined in a parse XML rule (an instance of the Rule-Parse-XML rule type).
• Delimited ParseRule — The incoming data is in a delimited format that must be processed by a Parse Delimited rule (an instance of Rule-Parse-Delimited).
• Structured Parserule — The incoming data has a fixed format with fixed-length fields and must be processed by a structured parse rule (an instance of the Rule-Parse-Structured rule type).

If more choices appear, they identify a custom function rule in a MapTo library. Review the function rule to determine what it does.

Specify the key to locating the property or the rule in the destination specified in the Map To field:

• If the Map To value is Clipboard, enter the property name to which the data is to be mapped.
• If the Map To value is XML Parse Rule, enter the Namespace name (second key part) and the Element Name name — third key part — of the appropriate Parse XML rule. Separate the Namespace from the Element name with a space using the syntax "NamespaceName ElementName" rather than "NamespaceName.ElementName." The system uses the Applies to class of this connector rule as the first key part of the parse rule.

  To maintain backward compatibility for connector rules created in releases before V5.2, you can specify a data mapping with only a Namespace value. In that case, the system at runtime determines the Element Name key from the root element of the incoming XML document. However, this mapping works only if the Parser Type of the Parse XML rule is set to DOM and validation is not enabled. As a best practice, specify both the Namespace Name and the Element Name of the rule. B-21542

• If the Map To value is Delimited ParseRule, enter the Namespace and Record Type names (second and third key parts) of the appropriate delimited parse rule. The system uses the Applies To class of this service rule as the first key part of the parse rule.
• If the Map To value is Structured ParseRule, enter the Record Type (third key part) of a structured parse rule. The system uses the Applies To class of this service rule as the first key part of the parse rule.
• If the Map To value is a Rule-Utility-Function function from a MapTo library, either select a property to hold the results of the function or leave this field blank, as appropriate for the function.
