Changing the value of mediation flow properties at run time


Promoted properties page

You can view the Promoted properties page from the Operations connection section at the top of the mediation flow editor, or from the editor's canvas as well. You can filter and sort the list to control the list display. The list of properties that you see on this page depends on the context:

A property that is in a table (such as the Filters table in the Message Filter) will appear in this list only if it has a value.


Marking a property as promoted

To promote a property, and assign an alias and value to the promoted property, work in the Promoted properties page and follow these steps.


Procedure

  1. If you want to promote a property that is in a table, such as the Pattern property in Message Filter, first add the property in the details page, and save your changes. The property will now appear in the Promoted Properties page.

  2. To view the property you want to promote, click the Promoted Properties page

  3. Select the Promoted check box for the property. A default alias is created. If the property already has a value, that value is assigned to the alias. Otherwise, the default value for the property is assigned to the alias.

  4. To change the alias, type a name in the Alias column, or choose a name from the list of alias names.


Table-based properties

Some primitives have table-based properties with multiple columns. You can promote one column in an individual row of the table and assign an alias name to the row.

For example, the message filter primitive has a table based property named Filter which has two columns: Pattern and Terminal name. Of the two properties, only Pattern is promotable. The following image shows the Promoted properties page of a Message Filter, showing that Pattern is promoted.

A table property is displayed in the promoted properties view only if it has a value.
