Re: [Dev] [DEV][ESB Tooling] Improvement on constant operator

Hi Viraj

Thank you for your reply.

Agree with you on a proper graphical representation for a global constant
as it will increase usability.

Best Regards
Erandi

Re: [Dev] [DEV][ESB Tooling] Improvement on constant operator

Hi Chaturika,

We got your point and we will consider this improvement for a next release
with a proper graphical representation.

BTW, we are encouraging users to write self contained custom functions as
much as possible to reduce the complexity. So that its better to define
constants within the custom function scope. Without having a proper
graphical representation of the connectivity between a custom function and
a global constant, facilitating such a feature might lead to a confusion.

We had to introduce global variables concept, since there was no other
option to achieve some use cases.

Thanks,
Viraj.

[Dev] [DEV][ESB Tooling] Improvement on constant operator

[Chathurika De Silva]

Hi ESB Team

Currently the constant operator provides just a setting of value and
mapping to an output. In the present mapping configuration the constant is
not defined as a constant, rather the defined value is assigned directly to
the relevant output.

If there is a mechanism to define a global constant, this can be reused
(e.g. in custom functions) and hence will upgrade the usage of the data
mapper as well. I have created [1] for this and hope this will be
considered as this will add a greater value.
