Accessing the Sterling B2B Integrator data harness from maps
Any service that runs IBM Transformation Extender maps reads and writes to the underlying database of Sterling B2B Integrator through a data harness. The data harness interacts with the Sterling B2B Integrator engine to perform functions such as getting data and setting correlations.
- The PUT and GET rules in the map
- An input card or output card command line that specifies the Sterling adapter.
By using the Sterling adapter, maps can read Sterling B2B Integrator data on input cards and from GET rules, and write to tables from output cards and PUT rules. To execute the harness function as soon as the PUT rule is processed, use the -NOW argument. The -NOW executes the function even if the map fails.
When the PUT rule does not include the -NOW argument, the function executes when the map completes.
When the map runs successfully, the output from the adapter is associated with a Sterling B2B Integrator document for use by normal stream adapters.
