DTE Methods and Arguments
The FINS IFX XML DTE methods and arguments are described in the following tables. Table 8 describes the methods for the FINS IFX XML DTE.
Table 9 describes the arguments for the ToExternal method.
Table 10 provides specifications for the ToExternal method arguments.

Table 12 provides specifications for the ToInternal method arguments.

<MapArgs> is a runtime input argument used by the DTE map to match an integration map argument of an integration object map. The FINS IFX XML DTE can take as many <MapArgs> as needed as long as each name is unique among all the <MapArgs> that are passed to the FINS IFX XML DTE at the same time.
For example, suppose that the output integration object instance has some fields mapping to a workflow process property, such as an ID field.
- Using the Data Map view, select the integration map to edit in the Integration Object Map applet.
- In the Integration Map Argument applet, create the map and set the following values:
- Name = CompId
- Data Type = "DTYPE_TEXT"
- Display Name = Component ID
- In the Integration Field Map applet, set the following values:
- Target Field Name = [Id]
- Source Expression = [&CompId]
- In the workflow, set the data transformation engine input argument as follows:
- Input Argument = CompId
- Type = Process Property
- Property Name = Object Id
At runtime, the DTE replaces [&CompId] with the value of the Object ID.
For some mappings, if the DTE cannot find the source field value, the DTE creates empty tags by default. To remove the empty tags, add IgnoreEmptyTag as the map argument.
