External Processing Response Source Object Bind

List processing configurations can use the External Processing Response Source Object to bind to a variable. For more information, refer to the List Processing External Processing Operation topic in the Data Preparation documentation here.

The bind can be found within the 'Binds to' dropdown as shown below.

Configuration

To use any bind:

1. Create a business rule as defined in the Creating a Business Rule, Function, or Library topic.

2. Edit the business rule as defined in the Editing a Business Rule or Function topic.

3. In the Edit Operation dialog, add the bind to a business rule, as defined in the Adding a Bind topic in the Resource Materials online help documentation.

4. In the Edit Operation dialog, optionally add Messages, as defined in the Localized Messages for JavaScript Business Rules topic.

5. In the Edit Operation dialog, add JavaScript to call the bind.

Example

The following is an example JavaScript that uses this bind.

Important: Example scripts should not be used as-is without thorough testing, including updating the script to match object and link types that exist on your system. JavaScript variable names are case-sensitive.

For object types being processed by a List Processing Configuration, this example script updates the Gender value.
