After Market Extensibility of Product Synchronization Mapping
You can now add custom mapping transformations to the existing productized integrations that we have with Siebel CRM and Oracle Billing & Revenue Management applications. Any new fields that require business specific transformation logic can be added as extensions to the released mapping files using the "Third party function service swagger" to bring your own mapping services.
CXIF acts as the API management and routing layer in addition to providing the integration microservices to upload the extended mapping file to be using in the catalog distribution process.
This feature provides the ability for customers to add not just additional attributes to integration entities but also add custom transformation mappings that is beyond what the productized integrations provide to improve operational efficiency and mitigate any enrichment.
