When you add a mapplet to a condition or action, you must configure at least one input on the mapplet. A mapplet may specify one or multiple inputs, depending on its design. The rule statement additionally reads a single output from the mapping.
Before you configure the inputs, review the design of the mapplet. Verify that your input selections enable the mapplet to generate the data outcomes that the condition or action requires.
For example, you may decide to configure a single input on a mapplet that supports multiple inputs. The data on the field that you specify will flow through the mapplet at run time, provided that the mapplet logic does not require any additional data input. If the input that you select has a dependency on other inputs on the mapplet, configure those inputs also.
The following image shows the options for a sample mapplet in the
Define Action
dialog box:
The dialog box includes the following options:
Mapplet name and selection options.
The options open the
Select Mapplet
dialog box, which displays the mapplets on the system.
Mapplet inputs.
The number of inputs depends on the mapping design. You can assign an input from the rule specification to a mapplet input, or you can enter a value as the input.
Mapplet output.
The rule statement reads a single output from the mapplet as a condition to evaluate or as the data outcome of an action.
