Input

Specify the source node and function from which a substring is to be extracted. If an extraction source is already mapped to substring acquisition, that extraction source is displayed.

For details about the display format in Input, see the description for the display format of the mapping source in the manual Service Platform Basic Development Guide.

Select Node button

The Node Selection dialog opens. Click this button to specify in Input a source node from which a substring is to be extracted.

For details about the Select Node dialog, see 1.6.8 Select Node Dialog (Data Transformation).

Set Node Condition button

The Set Node Condition dialog opens. Click this button to specify a condition for the source node and allow mapping to take place only when that condition is satisfied.

For details about the Set Node Condition dialog, see 1.6.11 Set Node Condition Dialog. For details about how to set up the conditions for transformation source nodes, see the description of node condition settings in the manual Service Platform Basic Development Guide.

Select Function button

The Select Function dialog opens. Click this button to specify in Input a function from which a substring is to be extracted.

For details about the Select Function dialog, see 1.6.9 Select function dialog.

Specify division string radio button

Select this button to divide a string into two segments and specify either the initial or subsequent segment.

Division string
