4: Splitting a Message (Transformation)

Use

To split the booking message for the whole flight trip into booking messages for the individual flights, define a transformation step. In the transformation step you define, specify an operation mapping. The operation mapping references a mapping program. This mapping program creates the booking messages for the individual flights in the trip from the booking message for the whole flight trip. The result is a list of booking messages for the individual flights.

You define a multiline container element for the list of booking messages for the individual flights and enter it in the transformation step. At runtime, each line of the multiline container element contains a reference to a booking message for an individual flight in the flight trip.
