Passing the output of a Transform binary action to a regular transform
Posted: Nov 04, 2009 01:18:15 PM

I have a question related to datapower XI 50 programming. (I'm pretty new to DP)

I have a binary tranform action for trasforming xml data to cobol copy book.

I want to have the output of the binary tranform action,(ie. the cobol copybook) to be embedded as the payload of an xml message in the succeding tranform action.
Input of the tranform action is:
=================================
<m:MemberService_GetMemberDetail_Request> <m:memberId>YTH248M54634</m:memberId> <m:name> <m:first>CATHERINE</m:first> <m:last>GROVE</m:last> </m:name> <m:dateOfBirth>1951-12-30</m:dateOfBirth> <m:gender>F</m:gender> <m:requestDate> <m:begin>2005-11-16</m:begin> <m:end>2005-11-16</m:end> </m:requestDate> <m:includePcp>Y</m:includePcp> <m:includeCoverageHistory>N</m:includeCoverageHistory> <m:includeAddress>Y</m:includeAddress> <m:includeSubscriberInfo>Y</m:includeSubscriberInfo> <m:benefitRequest> <m:requestTypeCode>HIPAA_STC</m:requestTypeCode> <m:requestTypeValue>30</m:requestTypeValue> </m:benefitRequest> </m:MemberService_GetMemberDetail_Request>
Output of the binary tranform action is:
======================================
YTH248M54634 CATHERINE GROVE 1951-12-30F2005-11-162005-11-16YNYYHIPAA_STC 30

I want to generate a final out like this:
<root>
<header>
</header>
<body>
<!-- Note that the content of the body is the out put of the binary tranform action
YTH248M54634 CATHERINE GROVE 1951-12-30F2005-11-162005-11-16YNYYHIPAA_STC 30
</body>
</root>

So, I'm trying wrap up the cobol copy book data, inside an xml tag, so I can easily handle this xml data in the subsequent tranformation, which has appropriate xsl to do the job?
Any suggestion to handle this scenario?

in response to: DP_SOA_Member's post

What you should do is the following:

Put the output of the binary transformation into a context variable at the end of the binary transformation.
Create a rule where through a transform action you create the XML (the format done in XSL) where you use the context variable to set the body of the XML message

This should work out to your needs.
