Using the Condition Editor 

Use

You use the condition editor to formulate logical conditions.

The condition editor comprises the following screen areas.

You define the condition in the work area.

The logical expression of the condition is displayed in the preview area.

Procedure

You define a condition in the upper screen area in the form of a table.

You can do the following:

●      Specify a logical expression in a table line by linking two operands with an operator

●      Combine several table lines to form a complex condition by using the operators AND and OR

Create Logical Expression in a Table Line

Within a table line, you link two operands to each other by using an operator. You specify an expression or a value for the operands, depending on the area of use.

●      If you are using the condition editor to define receiver determinations or interface determinations, you can only use the expression editor to create an expression for the left operand. You must specify a value for the right operand.

Specify an element from the message payload with the expression in the left operand. Specify a fixed value with the expression in the right operand, against which the value of the element will be compared at runtime.

●      If you are using the condition editor to define an integration process, you can create an expression for the left and right operands by using the expression editor.

You select the relational operator from the dropdown list box in the Op. column.

Available Operators

Icon	Operator
=	Equals
	Not equal to
	Contains Pattern (CP) You use this operator to query a string with a pattern. You can use the following characters for this: ●      + for any character ●      * for any string an*mploymenttaxdeclarat+on annualemploymenttaxdeclaration.
EX	Exists You use this operator to check the existence of the expression (in the left operand). This enables you to find out whether a substructure represented by the expression exists. You can use this operator if you want to check whether a particular element exists in the payload, for example. To do so, enter the element you want to check in the left-hand operand and leave the right-hand operand empty. You can also use the = operand for this check.

Linking Several Logical Expressions with Each Other

The following functions are available for inserting multiple table lines and linking the expressions in these lines to each other logically:

Functions for Linking Multiple Logical Expressions

Icon	Function
	Insert Group: Insert Inserts a new line for a new logical expression below the selected line. The new expression is linked to the expression in the selected row by the OR operator.
	Insert Expression: Inserts a new line for a new logical expression below the selected line. The new logical expression is linked to the expression in the selected line by the AND operator. Expressions that are linked by an AND operator are combined using a parenthesis symbol.
