ftos.formulaEngine.resolveOutputDataMapping

Populates an entity record using the outputs defined by a formula parameter mapping for reference. This is useful to save the results of a business formula to an entity.

This is a business logic method for business service components.

Syntax

Copy 
ftos.formulaEngine.resolveOutputDataMapping(
    dataMappingName: string,
    entityId: string,
    input: any,
): void
 
Parameter Type Description
dataMappingName string Name of the output formula parameter mapping used to map the populated values to the entity attributes.
entityId string Primary key of the entity record that you wish to populate. The record must belong to the master entity defined in the mapping.
input any JSON key-value pairs you wish to save to the entity record. The values will be mapped to the corresponding entity attributes based on the dataMappingName parameter.

Example

This example:

  • Uses ftos.formulaEngine.resolveInputDataMapping to retrieve the formula inputs by applying the myFPM input mapping on the current entity record (ftos.context.id).
  • Saves the mapped inputs in the formulaInput variable.
  • Uses ftos.formulaEngine.run to run the MonthlyPayment formula on the retrieved inputs.
  • Stores the formula result in the monthlyPayment variable.
  • Saves the monthly payment in the current entity record using the myFPM output mapping for reference.
Copy 
var formulaInput = ftos.formulaEngine.resolveInputDataMapping('myFPM', ftos.context.id);

var monthlyPayment = ftos.formulaEngine.run('MonthlyPayment', formulaInput, {}).result;

ftos.formulaEngine.resolveOutputDataMapping('myFPM', ftos.context.id, monthlyPayment);
