Step 6. Code iiiFN07 Server GET functionality
INT007 - Department List Inquiry
In this step, you will begin to write the RDMLX for the Server side GET. The client will have sent a request with a list of Department Codes to the server. The server function will receive the XML form and map the data into program variables.
1. Create a new LANSA process named iiiPRO05 JSM XML List Tutorial, where iii is your unique 3 characters. (If the process already exists, select a different set of characters for iii.).
2. Create a new function named iiiFN07 Department List Server, belonging to process iiiPRO05. The function must be RDMLX enabled. Create it without using a template.
3. With your project iii Training open in Studio, expand the folder and double click on SAMPLE_RDMLX_INBOUND_HTTP.TXT to open it in the text editor. Copy the code into your function iiiFN07, replacing existing code.
4. Edit the RDMLX code of function iiiFN07.
a. Change the GROUP_BY name DEPARTMENTLISTREQUEST to LISTREQ. This Group_By is simply a reference for mapping the field STD_TEXTS.
b. Use the function to change all occurrences of #DEPARTMENT to #DEPTMEN_W. Use Match whole words only. This is a working list for the received list of department codes. The code generator is currently not respecting RDML name length limits. This should change 2 occurrences.
5. Save this function. It is not yet complete. It will be finished in the next step.
At this stage, the server function now has the information from the XML document.
