Application DesigndataMapScript Business Rule Component

A Data Map Script is a business rule component that allows you to make changes to the data map by using JavaScript. A Data Map Script can alter values in the data map or add a value to the data map, but unlike a Data Map Entry Script (mapScript) it does not return a value.

The following is the syntax for a Data Map Script.

Important! Content in a business rule is case sensitive. This includes business rule component names, attributes, and values.

Note: For each business rule component, most elements and attributes are optional, but you should specify enough to achieve the functionality that you intend. In most cases, you can omit attributes that are not relevant to your task and default values will be used. You must specify a name and a namespace. Except where otherwise indicated, attributes accept string values.
