The following enhancements have been made for message mappings in the Integration Builder mapping editor:

·        In the dataflow editor for target-field mappings, you can now call a menu that enables you to access the most frequently used standard functions quicker. To call the menu, double-click an empty screen area in the data-flow editor.

·        In the user-defined functions, it was previously only possible to query runtime constants for the message mapping by using the container-object method getTransformationParameters(). You can now also use the GlobalContainer-object method getParameters() for this purpose.

See also: GlobalContainer Object.

·        The following enhancements have been made to the standard functions of the mapping editor:

¡        Previously, the way the standard function ifWithoutElse() operated was predefined in the ELSE case. Now, if the value resulting from this function is to be transferred to another function in the target-field mapping, you have the option of setting the ELSE value in the function properties.

¡        The new standard function useOneAsMany()replicates the value of a field that only occurs once to enable it to be combined in pairs with the values of a field that occurs more than once (as records).
