For instructions on accessing the Function Argument Mapper in the rule editor see Using the Function Argument Mapper
Assigning an empty string ("") to a field in a mapper function results in a null string.Most options in the Edit Statement dialog are straightforward. However, there are some complex scenarios that require multiple steps. Many of these situations are described in the section Examples of Mappings. You may also wish to refer to XSLT Statements for a reference of XSLT statements when deciding which XSLT statement can be used to achieve the result you desire.You can specify XPath formulas to transform an element if you need to perform more complex processing. The XPath Formula Builder allows you to easily create XPath formulas. For more advanced use of XPath, see Chapter 22, XPath Formula Builder. There are also a variety of third-party books and resources about XSLT and XPath.The datatypes of the function’s arguments display as hints. Once a mapping or formula is specified, a hint becomes an XSLT statement. See Statements, Hints, and Errors for more information about hints and statements.Once you specify a statement in the Function panel and click OK, it becomes part of the XSLT template used to create the input data. Statements are only deleted if you manually delete them using the delete button, or if you use the Mapper Check and Repair (button to automatically fix errors. Therefore, if the input schema for the function changes, your statements may no longer be valid. See Repairing Incorrect Mappings for more information about using the Mapper Check and Repair button to fix statements in the Function panel.
Any statement or hint that has an error is displayed in red. A hint is only displayed in red if it is a required input element. All required input elements must have statements specified. The Mapper Check and Repair button can help you automatically fix some errors. See Repairing Incorrect Mappings for more information about fixing errors.
