To generate accurate and complete OAS documentation in your application, review the following best practices:

• Use the following options in the Map to and Map from fields to generate a complete schema:
  • Automation input/output
  • Clipboard
  • JSON

    If you select Use JSON data transformation in the Mapping method field, the system generates the schema based on the properties defined in the JSON data transform that you provide.

    If you use the auto-map action in the JSON data transform, the system generates all relevant records in the OAS documentation. To skip any property from populating in the OAS, add the property in the Fields to skip when auto-mapping section of the JSON data transform Settings tab. For more information, see Configuring the JSON data transforms settings column on the Data Transform form.

• Avoid using the following options in the Map to and Map from fields. If you use the XML or HTML options, the generated schema only displays the type. For example, for an XML Parse input, the schema displays type:XML. For all of the other options, the system does not generate a schema.

  Map to options

  XML Parse

  HTML Postdata

  Delimited Parse Rule

  Parse Structured

  Functions created in the MapTo library

  Map from options

  XML Stream

  HTML Stream

  HTML Frame

  Functions created in the MapFrom library

• If you use the Clipboard option, avoid setting the Map to key and Map from key values to a parameter reference in your REST service rules. If you use a parameter reference, the generated schema displays type:string.
• If you use the Clipboard option, avoid setting the Map to key and Map from key values to a top-level page, for example, MyUndefinedPage. If you use an undefined page, the system does not generate a schema.
• Use valid property references, for example, .Prop1.Prop2.
• Use page, page list, and string mode properties. Use of other modes is not recommended, even if you use a property reference.
• Specify an HTTP response code in the response condition of each of the REST service rules that are included in your service package. Note the following:
  • If multiple response conditions use the same HTTP code, only the first condition generates.
  • If a response condition uses a property or parameter reference for its HTTP code, the response condition is set as default in the generated OAS.
  • If multiple response conditions use a property or parameter reference for the HTTP code, only the first response condition generates.
