Business Service

Used with business services (such as Projected Asset Cache), the Business Service source type allows you to invoke a business service to populate one or more variables, and to populate a child property set of the current row. The following figure shows the Business Service source type.

Business Service Source Type. In this image, there are three list applets: Variable Definitions, Variable Sources, and Variable Source Parameters. The Variable Sources applet has the Source Type field.

Using the Business Service source type, you can populate multiple variables or child variable maps in a single method invocation. This is possible if the variables are invoking the same business service and method with the same inputs. This consolidated call to the business service can happen regardless of the number of variables (that is, Property Set, another one, or a mix of two) needing to be populated.

Note: Make sure the values for the Sequence field contain appropriate numbers. In the example shown in the figure, Account Id is an input for the business service. This input uses the value of variable Account Id, therefore the Sequence value for Account Id must be smaller than the Sequence value for Credit Score.
