Configure a Conditional for a BDC Screen

>Review the steps in the process.

This optional step allows a user to add conditionals at the BDC screen level. A conditional is a data condition that, if true, will result in the inclusion of the data from the process template field mappings associated with the screen in the resulting posting script.  If the data condition is false, the screen will be left out of the posting script. 

Each conditional is data record specific.  For example, if 10 records are posted, Integrate evaluates the conditional for each data record and applies it to the data in that record only. 

If there is no conditional applied to a screen, then the screen will be included in the posting script.

Only one conditional can be configured per BDC screen.

NOTE: Conditionals cannot be modified if the template is active.

NOTE: Conditionals can be applied to custom fields. Refer to Add Custom Fields to a BDC Script Template for more information.

To configure a conditional for a BDC screen on the BDC Screen page:

  1. Select Categories from Navigation pane.
  2. Click Template.
  3. Locate the Template with a Type of BDC Script.
  4. Click Vertical View.
  5. Click Configuration tab.
  6. Click BDC Screen button.
  7. Click Vertical View for a screen.

  8. Click Conditionals button.

    View the field descriptions for the BDC Screen Conditionals page

  9. Select a field from CONDITIONAL FIELD NAME list box.
  10. Select a conditional from CONDITIONAL TYPE list box.
  11. Enter a value in CONDITIONAL VALUE.
  12. Click Save.

After this template is added to a process, the data set that will be posted will meet the conditions configured.
