Save input on service request

Hi.

maybe you could use a 'redirectout process' in order to save the incoming data?

//Stig :-)

Yes, this is possible and something we use in all projects.

It's useful as you say to store away the original data and any filter manipulated data. Also, it can help you troubleshoot "invalid" incoming data that does not trigger any event, in those cases a redirectout process would not even be triggered.

And of course, if you have a process based license it will also save you some transactions from not calling a redirect process :-)

What exactly are you struggling with? The javascript itself, or how to invoke it as a filter.

Yes, your invocation method looks fine.

Here is a very simple and scaled down example of a javascript that will save the original data to a file named "bu-{randomvalue}_original.xml" and the manipulated data to a file named "bu-{randomvalue}_manipulated.xml".

"use strict";

var repo = require( 'repo' );


function generateRandomString() {    
return Math.floor(Math.random() * Date.now()).toString(36);
}


//create a unique name for output file
var uniqueName = 'bu-' + generateRandomString();


//get the input data stream
var str = repo.loadInput();


//save the orignal data to file
repo.save( uniqueName+'_orignal.xml', str );


//do your required manipulation on str data here

//…

//…


//save the manipulated data to file
repo.save( uniqueName+'_manipulated.xml', str );


//update data stream with the manipulated data
repo.saveOutput( str );

The files will by default (you can change) be saved in the root directory of the running application.

Good luck!
