Explain Plan Web Services

Overview

Note: this is the explanation for the Web Services in Fusion Registry version 10.

The Registry has the User Interface feature "Test Mapping" which can be used to test an input file against a Mapping. This feature is very useful when debugging why a mapping did not occur. This page details how to directly call the Web Services that perform the explanation of a mapping

There are 2 Web Services. The firsts "explains" what series dimensions of an input file would be mapped and which would be unmapped with regards to a specifc Map, the second goes into detail abot a Series Key.

'Explain Map' Web Service

For the supplied file and the URN of the mapping structure, returns a JSON obejct stating which series were mapped and which were unmapped from the input.

The input must have a Header value of "URN" which states The output JSON object has 4 fields:

• source - the URN of the DSD or Dataflow that was used as the source of the mapping
• target - the URN of the DSD or Dataflow that was used as the target of the mapping
• mapped - a JSON object. Each field is a unique input key that mapped. For each field is a String stating what it mapped to.
• unmapped - a JSON Array of Strings showing which keys from the input were unmapped

Example Output

{
    "source": "urn:sdmx:org.sdmx.infomodel.datastructure.Dataflow=MAPPING_TEST:DF_DSD1(1.0)",
    "target": "urn:sdmx:org.sdmx.infomodel.datastructure.Dataflow=MAPPING_TEST:DF_DSD2(1.0)",
    "mapped": {

    },
    "unmapped": [
        "C55BCX:C:BEL"
    ]
}
