JavaScript Binds

The same JavaScript binds are available for all business rules, using the functionality exposed in the public Java API. JavaScript in a business rule will have access to the standard Java packages. A connection into the STEP Java API can be created via binds where Java objects are bound to JavaScript variables. For more information, click the Technical Documentation button on the Start Page, and refer to the Javadoc link under the Scripting API section.

The following documentation addresses the binds, regardless of their use. For steps required to add a JavaScript bind, refer to the Adding a Bind topic.

The Global Binds available in Matching Algorithms are different from business rule JavaScript binds. For more information about matching algorithm binds, refer to the Match Codes topic of the Matching, Linking, and Merging documentation.

Important: STEP data should only be changed via an Execute JavaScript business action. Changing STEP data via an Evaluate JavaScript business condition is not supported. Refer to the JavaScript Considerations topic for more info and suggested uses.

The STEP Scripting Java API binds are available in the groupings listed below. The top-level options are shown with a light gray background.
