UDF for Counting index for Alert Message

Former Member · ‎11-02-2007

Hi I am trying to implement the following scenario.

Mapping a Multiple message (collected in a BPM) to a single message

LIST HEADER

S_STX --> REPORT both 1..unbounded

So mapping S_STX --> MyCounter --> REPORT

public void MyCounter(String[] myArgument,ResultList result,Container container){

for (int j =0;j<myArgument.length;j++)

{

result.addValue(myArgument[j]) ;

}

if(myCounter==null) myCounter = new Integer(0);

else

{myCounter = new Integer(myCounter.intValue() + 1);

}

Variable myCounter is declared as a global variable in the Java section

Integer myCounter.

Now this runs and in the Queue I can see

MyCounter in MyCounter out

[] []

I want to make the myCounter variable available to the trace so we can track which single message had a mapping error.

I would also like this available to my BPM Container so that the ALERT Message can reference it.

Any ideas how to proceed from here?

thanks

Right I managed it by using collapse contexts and Sum then mapped to a FaultMessage type the Error Text concatenating in the result of my User function

I have read some more stuff as you sent.

Now I have a simple UDF that can pass the inbound queue to the outbound queue so that I am not affecting the mapping but also issues the index line I am on as an addWarning() to the trace.

The result is that when I Test the Mapping in the Design Tool I can see this information coming out in the log.

Message Index 1

Message Index 2 etc

When I run this with data in the runtime environment I get no logging information on this. As I throw my alert because the 3rd message is incorrect and the effect is that the mapping result is never reached so there is no resulting XML logged message.

Do I need to create some sort of out message before I throw the ALERT so that I can get the messages logged?

I am mapping from a multiline message to a single message.

thanks in advance...
