About Upstream Interface Parameters

You map the parameters contained in the messages sent from upstream systems to the parameters required by the service actions associated with the service bundle. At run time, after the initial translation has occurred, SRT uses this service bundle configuration to analyze the contents of messages sent from upstream systems.

Note:

Some upstream interface parameters may not be used in the provisioning process. Upstream interface parameters can be mapped to lookups for further processing, for example to split parameters apart or to concatenate them together.

To map upstream interface parameters to service action parameters, you add the parameters to the Upstream Interface list using the following methods:

Automatically, based on service action labels. When you associate service actions with the service bundle, you can use the service action labels to populate the upstream interface parameter list. Design Studio places the parameters in the parameter list on the Service Bundle editor Upstream Interface tab.
Manually, in the Service Bundle editor. If you know what the upstream labels will be but do not have a sample XML document that can be imported, the parameters can be added in manually.
By importing the upstream parameters from a sample upstream service request (in XML format). Using this method, Design Studio runs a transformation against the upstream XML file and extracts the interface parameters. The XSLT that implements the transformation must first be created by a technical resource such as a developer. See "Configuring Translations" for more information.
