Use the Request tab to specify the contents of the outgoing request message. At runtime, Pega Platform maps the data from the clipboard (or other sources) to fields of the message header, message body, and parameter values.

Message Headers

Field

Description

Field

Optional. Select a message header field (JMSCorrelationID or JMSType).

Description

Enter a text description.

Map From

Select how the system creates the selected request header value:

  • Clipboard — The system maps the data value from the property specified by the Map From Key.
  • Constant — The system sends a fixed value.

If more choices appear, they identify a custom function rule in a MapFrom library. Review the function rule to determine what it does.

Map From Key

If the Map From value is Clipboard, enter a property reference that is the source of the data.

If the Map From value is Constant, enter a literal constant. To include blank spaces in your text string surround the constant with double quotes.

Message Properties

Complete this section to define how Pega Platform is to assemble property values and literal values to form the request message.

Map From

Select how the system creates request parameter values. The choice you make for this field depends on what you selected for Data Type:

  • Clipboard — The system maps the data value to the scalar property specified by the Map From Key.
  • Constant — The system sends a fixed value.
  • XML Stream — The system composes a stream of XML text, formatted by an XML Stream rule.
  • HTML Stream — The system composes a stream of HTML text, formatted by an HTML rule.

If more choices appear, they each identify a custom function rule in a MapFrom library. Review the function rule to determine what it does.
