2. How to Use Find & Replace Function?

Introduction:

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use  Find & Replace Function. Find & Replace function to perform mass editing and replace data. With this function, you can search, edit, and replace the text in the IData of failed/pending messages. The Find & Replace function can be accessed from the Integration page.

Pre-requisite

• Create Integration and Inbound interface with operation upsert
• Create a message type
• Link a message type for the inbound interface
• To get failed and pending messages, we will demonstrate how to push records via Data Loader to intentionally create failed and pending messages.
• Mapping

• Create a workflow to generate pending messages when the workflow conditions are not met.

Select the 'SOURCE INTERFACES'

• Keep Processing Mode as the default setting (Pass all messages to the next step)
• Keep setting 'Runtime Behavior' as default (Continue when an error occurred)
• Keep setting 'Action when all Conditions not met' as default (Update Message Status to 'Pending')
• Click New IWorkflow Condition Button
• Fill BillingCity <> 'PP' on Condition means is not equal to 'PP'

Here is an example, pushing records with a Data Loader in order to get the failed/pending message.

• Format data type CSV, separate Comma, and click the next button.
• Click on the Upload File button to choose a file and click the upload file button.
• Select all and click the push button.

• Click search on the message monitor to see the result.

The messages are pending and failed now due to the records push did not meet the condition and missing the name required fields. You will need the Find & Replace Function in order to edit the Idata of the message to make it correct for reprocessing to be successful.

• Enter to Integration Page again
• Click on the Find & Replace tab.
• Select the name of the interface for which you want to see the failed and pending message records.

After selecting the interface, you will be able to see the list of failed and pending messages for that interface.
