Enhancement for R11 and R41 rules

Rule Type 11 is checking subelement values, but doesn’t return the bad value if no match. We wanted to populate the bad value as Data Content in Tack.html. As of now, there are no rules that could be used in this case. We need an enhancement for t...

Support to create JSON null and binary type fields

Though the ITX maps are able to read and parse JSON null and binary data, it is unable to generate null or binary type fields using JSON schema. We would like to have the option added in ITX so as to create null and binary type fields like below u...

ITX offers ADDDAYS, ADDHOURS and ADDMINUTES to Date Time objects. I have a requirement to add seconds, but there is currently no ADDSECONDS function offered to support this. My idea is to make an ADDSECONDS function available in ITX.

Given seconds can often be part of a date time object, not having a proper function to adjust seconds as easily as minutes, hours and days seems to be a gap that should be addressed.

Allow map tests from Design Studio to run against SPE Server

This idea would allow users to run a map test from their locally installed copy of Design Studio on ITXA installed on a server, the same way that we can currently run IBM Mapper tests against Sterling Integrator, and run Design Studio map tests ag...

DEVOPS deployment to LINUX servers

Devops has been around for a while, with automated testing and deployment. WTX should provide tool to auto deploy (similar to map build). This would take the PC tested map and allow it to be deployed to a server for further testing in a LINUX envi...

ITX - Allow MapTrace to continue after first error

Currently, the MapTrace halts/stops after the first error is encountered. This makes debugging issues and correcting input data difficult, as only one error can be fixed at a time, then the file needs to be re-run to check if there are any other f...

ITX - Expand SERIESTOTEXT function with a delimiter

Currently the SERIESTOTEXT function just concatenates the content of an array which doesn't make it useable in my case. Adding an option for a delimiter like SERIESTOTEXT(Field(s), ",") would make a comma-separated string out of the array which wo...

DateTime Functions should handle Epoch as well

We're receiving a message where the timestamps are in Epoch notation. ToDateTime and FromDateTime (and maybe other related functions) should be able to handle this so it can be treated and/or formatted in a human-readable format.

automapper should also work with same input/output types

It is a common pattern to work twice on a output card, e.g.:- when the output should also include summarized amounts of several output records that need to be built/calculated first- when the header should announce how many records will follow Now...

Autmoapper from output to output

The automapper is very useful, but only does input to output. In some cases, we need to prepare mapping in one output card, and enrich it later in a following output card. Currently, it can be done but needs some cards copy and moving, and this wo...
