How to Use URL Ports to Build a Dynamic URL

How to Use URL Ports to Build a Dynamic URL

Use URL ports to build a dynamic URL in the REST Web Service Consumer transformation. You can build a dynamic URL such as
https://sample.com/1/posts
 or
https://sample.com/2/posts
 by defining a URL port in the transformation.
To configure a dynamic URL after you create the REST Web Service Consumer transformation, complete the following steps:
  1. Select the REST Web Service Consumer transformation.
  2. Navigate to the
    Properties
     view and select the
    Advanced
     tab.
  3. To configure the base URL, complete one of the following steps:
    • To configure the
      URL
       property, enter the base URL.
    • To configure the
      Connection
       property, select the HTTP connection.
  4. Navigate to the
    Ports
     tab.
  5. Highlight the
    RequestInput
     group and select
    New
    . Select
    URL Ports
     from the drop-down menu.
    This image shows the Ports tab of the REST Web Service Consumer transformation. The RequestInput group is highlighted. New is selected and the drop-down menu is shown. In the drop-down menu, URL Ports is selected.
    The following image shows the URL port nested under RequestInput:
    This image shows the Ports tab of the REST Web Service Consumer transformation. The URL port appears under the group RequestInput.
  6. Edit the name of the URL port.

    number
    .
  7. Create another URL port for posts. Rename the port to
    posts
    .
  8. To build a dynamic URL such as
    https://sample.com/1/posts
     or
    https://sample.com/2/posts
    , link ports from an upstream mapping object to the URL ports in the REST Web Service Consumer transformation. Link a number port to the URL port
    number
     and link a string port to the URL port
    posts
    .
