Concur V2 Source Transformation in Mappings

When you configure a Source transformation, select the Concur V2 connection and choose an operation to represent a Concur V2 source. You can parameterize a Concur V2 connection.
You can select an operation for the source through the connection. Configure the request message using the request message template. You can parameterize the input values in the request XML. Configure the advanced properties to set the tracing level and the cache size for the web service response.
You can view the response structure in the field mapping. When you map the elements from the response structure to the output fields, the Secure Agent creates the output groups, along with the primary and foreign keys for the field names. When you deploy the mapping in a mapping task and run the task, the Secure Agent reads the data from Concur.

Source Transformation Properties

You can use one or more source transformations in a mapping. Use a Joiner transformation to join data from two sources.
When you select a source, the Properties panel displays the following areas and information:

Advanced Source Properties

In a mapping, you can configure a source to represent a Concur V2 source. For Concur V2 source connections used in mapping tasks, you can configure advanced properties in the Source page of the Mapping Task wizard.
The following table describes the advanced properties that you can configure in a source:
Property
Description
Tracing Level
Amount of detail that appears in the log for the source.
Use the following tracing levels:
  • - Terse
  • - Normal
  • - Verbose Initialization
  • - Verbose
Default is normal.
Cache Size for Web Service Response (KB)
Memory available for the web service response. If the web service response contains many rows or columns, you might want to increase the cache size. Default is 100 KB.

Concur V2 Source Mapping Example

You are a payroll administrator and you want to extract the list of expense details for all employees from Concur to a flat file.
To read data from Concur and write to a flat file, perform the following tasks:
  1. 1Create a Concur V2 connection. Verify that you select relative path to the GetAllLists object in the connection properties.
    2. The following image shows the configured Concur V2 connection for the hybrid OAuth 2 connection type:
  2. The Concur V2 Connection Properties page shows the properties for a hybrid OAuth 2 connection type.
    3. The following image shows the configured Concur V2 connection for the OAuth 2 connection type:
  3. The Concur V2 Connection Properties page shows the properties for a new OAuth 2 connection type
  4. 2Create a flat file connection to write data to the flat file.
  5. 3Create a Concur V2 mapping.
    6. The following image shows the Concur V2 mapping:
    The image displays a Concur mapping.
  6. 4Add a Source transformation. Specify a name and description in the general properties.
  7. 5On the Source tab, perform the following steps:
    1. aIn the Connection field, select the configured Concur V2 connection to connect to Concur.
    2. bIn the Operation field, select GetAllLists as the operation.
      3. The following image shows the GetAllLists operations:
      The image displays the GetAllLists operations.
    3. cIn the Request Options section, configure the request message in the following XML format, specify the attributes in the message, and validate the message:
      4. <!--1 or more repetitions:-->
      <proc:GetAllLists_INPUT xmlns:proc="http://xml.schemas/infa/procedure/">
      <!--Optional:-->
      <GetAllLists>
      <!--Optional:-->
      </GetAllLists>
      </proc:GetAllLists_INPUT>
    4. The request message specifies the criteria to include the list of expense details for all employees.
    5. dIn the Advanced Properties section, set the tracing level to Normal, and use the default cache size of 1024.
  8. 6On the Field Mapping tab, select the elements, such as ConnectorID, DisplayCodeFirst, and ID in the response structure that you want to map to the output fields.
    9. The following image shows the response structure on the left pane in a hierarchical format and the output groups on the right pane in a relational format:
    The image displays the response structure on the left pane in a hierarchical format and the output groups on the right pane in a relational format.
    The Secure Agent creates two output groups, GetAllLists_OUTPUT and GetAllLists, which results in two relational output files. Primary and foreign keys are auto-generated.
  9. 7Select a flat file connection for the target transformations to write GetAllLists data to the ConcurGetAllLists.txt flat file.
  10. 8On the Field Mapping tab, select the automatic field map option.
    11. The following image shows the target field mapping when you select the automatic field map option:
    The image displays the target field mapping when you select the automatic field map option.
  11. 9Save and run the mapping.
