"Merge" widget within an ION Data Flow

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I'm attempting to leverage the "Merge" widget within an ION Data Flow to includeParameters fetched from CSD to be merged with standard BODs using the standardUserArea. There are no errors and I'm not sure how to debug why this mapping isn't working.

Data Flow using"Merge" to merge IntegrationParams/Params/Property/NameValue intoCustomerPartyMaster/UserArea/Property/NameValue

I'm trying to stay away from leveraging a script task for this. I realize that I may be able to leverage the "Advanced merge using script" feature of the "Merge" widget but believe this should be a simple mapping exercise.

Appreciate any thoughts on this.

Kind regards,

John

What you are missing is the filter for the appropriate "name" attribute of the "NameValue" for both the source and the target document.

If you click select the Document Mapping line you click on "Filter From" and "Filter To" and in the dialog that opens specify the value for @name and @type. See below for an example (ignore that it is for the ItemMaster BOD):

You can use the same or a different name for the Property in the target BOD.

Super helpful Carsten! Thank you!

I'm getting closer!

For some reason the "Merge" is placing these within the first iteration of <Property>

What's also interesting is that even though it's not formatted properly, I can still filter and retrieve the name/values within my Workflow:
