Configuring the JSON data transforms settings column on the Data Transform form
Pega Platform displays the Settings tab on the data transform rule form for the JSON data model format. Use the Settings tab to enable multidimensional array output and to specify fields to skip during auto-mapping. You might want to skip fields that do not have meaning outside of Pega Platform, such as pyObjClass.
- In the data transform that you create, click the Settings tab.
- To enable multidimensional array output, select the Enable multidimensional
array output check box. Select this option when auto-mapping is enabled on the Definition tab and you have a Page List property with only one non-skipped property that has the same name as its parent. If you enable multidimensional array output, the Page List property will result in a multidimensional array in the JSON output. If you do not select the Enable multidimensional array output check box, the Page List property is displayed as an array of objects.
- In the Date format for serialization field, select the output
format to use when serializing a data page:
- When you select Pega API, the system formats the output
as:
Date: 1996-07-26
Date Time: 1996-07-26T09:30:00.000Z
Time of Day: 09:30:00.000Z
- When you select Pega Internal, the system formats the
output as:
Date: 19960726
Date Time: 19960726T093000.000 GMT
Time of Day: 093000
- When you select Pega API, the system formats the output
as:
- To specify which fields to skip processing during auto-mapping, in the Fields to skip when auto-mapping section, click Add field to add a field to the list.
- To specify the default auto-map empty behavior, select an empty
behavior in the Default Automap Empty Behavior field.
