Business Object Map mediation primitive properties

You can specify values for mediation primitive properties either by using the property fields in the IBM® Integration Designer user interface or by using an XML format. The property field names displayed in IBM Integration Designer are generally different from the property names used when building a mediation flow using XML code. In the following information, icons are used to identify each property name used in IBM Integration Designer and the corresponding XML name. (Where applicable, XML names that are required, but not shown in IBM Integration Designer, are also described.)

Considerations

  • If the Mapping File property is not valid it causes an exception at run time.
  • The order of transformations can be important.
  • The business object map associated with the Business Object Map mediation primitive can be stored in the mediation module, or in a library project that you declare as a dependency of the mediation module.
  • If you use dynamic relationships in the Business Object Map mediation primitive across request and response flows, the display name of the primitive in the response flow must match the corresponding primitive name in the request flow.
