(V10.0.0.2) Using a Mapping node to graphically access a Lookup table that is stored in the Global Cache

Learn how to use a Mapping node to graphically access a Lookup table that is stored in the Global Cache by exploring this simple example.
OVERVIEW

Note: This tutorial requires the IBM Integration Toolkit Version 10.0.0.2 or later and an integration node that is running IBM Integration Bus Version 10.0.0.2 or later.

This tutorial demonstrates how to graphically access the Global Cache in a Mapping node by using the Cache Get and Cache Put transforms.

One Mapping node demonstrates the use of a Cache Get transform to replace an abbreviated value in the input message with the associated full name from a Lookup table that is in the Global Cache.

Another Mapping node demonstrates the use of a Cache Put transform to populate a Lookup table in the Global Cache with data that is read from a comma-separated-values file.

In IBM Integration Bus, message flows can be used to transform and enrich input data structures into output data structures. Several transformation options are provided including a Mapping node, which allows the transformation and enrichment to be completed graphically. The Global Cache is a repository for data that you want to reuse regularly. The Mapping node can get, put, and remove data from the Global Cache.

This tutorial takes approximately 6 minutes.
