How to define a Configuration Field to create multiple line input from a Property Store value.

Troubleshooting


Problem

Certain input fields in Connectors and Function Components require values on separate lines. If there is a requirement to have these fields pull input from an external property file, then additional script will be required to reformat the key:value pair input into multiple line input for the field.

Diagnosing The Problem

Example: The 'Storage Notification Server(s)' field of the JMSPasswordStoreConnector requires that each entry be defined on a separate line.


Resolving The Problem

To add the script required, select the 'Advanced (JavaScript)' evaluation method for the parameter value as shown:


      -- Example Script --

      // refers your pre-defined external property


      sns = system.getTDIProperty("StoreNotificationServers");
      // create an array by splitting 'sns' based on a specific character
      values = system.splitString(sns, ",");
      str = "";
      // loop through array and append a New Line character
      for(i = 0, n = values.length; i < n; i++)
      {
      //append New Line character if not last index in array.
      if(i != (n - 1))
      {
      str += (values[i] + "\n");
      }
      else
      {
      str += (values[i]);
      }
      }
      return str
