Differences Between Input Message Formats

The following list describes the differences between the input message formats:

• The iterateOver attribute for the orchestrationStep element is supported only by the standard JD Edwards EnterpriseOne input message format.

• When using the "detail" form action type with the standard format, it will automatically iterate over all detailInputs and repeatingInputs in order to add multiple rows to a grid. If the generic format is used, only a single grid row can be added.

As shown in the following example, "detailInputs" would correspond to grid data; "repeatingInputs" would correspond to individual rows that contain "inputs" that correspond to columns.

If you have a power form with two grids, you could populate both grids using two "detailInputs" structures with different "name" values that correspond to the different grids. "repeatingInputs" would contain a list of rows and for each row you would define a list of "inputs".

You could also define a Cross Reference orchestration step with iterateOver="GridData" that converts the item value into an EnterpriseOne specific item number. For example, if A123=220 and A124=230, the single orchestration step would convert both.
