Hi,

 

I am currently working on a source with the csvdir connid connector but I have 
troubles mapping multiple external attributes to one internal attribute.

There are two different use cases that I both can’t get to work.

1.      In use one case the source is delivering multiple values of the same 
kind in different attributes (let’s say “name1”, “name2”, “name3”) that I want 
to map to multiple values in one internal attribute.
2.      The other use case is combining the values of multiple attributes 
(let’s say “street”, “zipcode”, “city”) into one value of one internal 
attribute “address” in the form “street + ‘;’ zipcode + ‘;’ + city ”.

 

It seems that JEXL [1] or other ItemTransformers [2] can only access the values 
of the mapped source attribute and all attributes of the internal EntityTO but 
not other external attributes.

I also tried to add multiple mapping rules with the same internal attribute but 
different external ones. That seems to work on the first reconciliation and the 
internal attribute has multiple values but on the second reconciliation all but 
one are deleted.

 

I know that a mapping like this would be hard to do in reverse but in this case 
we only pull from the source so this would be no practical problem. 
Nevertheless this could be the reason why this is not easy from a conceptual 
point of view.

 

The only other way I can think about is mapping the values one on one and then 
combining the values with a derived attribute after importing. This however 
would result in duplicate attributes which I would prefer to not do.

 

Is there another way?
