The concatenate mapping concatenates a list of strings into one single field. To define the concatenate mapping the Function type needs to be set to "String functions" and the function needs to be set to "concatenate". The attributes that need to be set in a concatenate mapping are:
Attribute | Required | Description |
---|
from | Y | Defines the field name before mapping. Points at a branch with a list of fields |
to | Y | Defines the field name after mapping. |
precedence | N | Defines the precedence used when mapping. |
Function type | Y | Defines the type of mapping. Needs to be "String functions". |
Function | Y | Defines the mapping type. Needs to be "concatenate" |
delimiter | Y | Defines the delimiter between the from fields. |
For example, if there is an incoming message with a list of comments that need to be concatenated into one, use a concatenate mapping.
