This topic describes how to create a new Dynamic Transformation control.

For information on where to add control instances in a business process, see "Adding Control Nodes to Your Business Process" in Using Integration Controls.

To Create a New Dynamic Transformation Control

Note: Before creating a Dynamic Transformation control, during design time, you need to create or import and test your transformation files. To learn more, see Creating Schema Projects, Transformation Data Using XQuery, and Transforming Non-XML Data.

  1. Open your WebLogic Integration application in WebLogic Workshop.
  2. In the Application pane, double-click the business process (JPD file) to which you want to add the Dynamic Transformation control. The business process is displayed in the Design View.
  3. On the Data Palette, in the Controls tab, click Add —> Integration Controls to display a list of integration controls that represent the resources with which your business process can interact.
  4. Note: If the Data Palette is not visible, from the menu bar, click View —> Windows —> Data Palette.

  5. Choose Dynamic Transformation. The Insert Control - Dynamic Transformation dialog box is displayed.

  8. In Step 2, select one of the following options:
  9. Choose whether you want to make this a control factory by selecting or clearing the Make this a control factory that can create multiple instances at runtime check box. For more information about control factories, see Control Factories: Managing Collections of Controls.
  10. Click Create.
  11. A new Dynamic Transformation control and an instance of it are created and the Insert Control - Dynamic Transformation dialog box is closed. The instance of the control is displayed on the Controls tab of the Data Palette. The new JCX file is displayed in the Application tab in WebLogic Workshop. (You can double-click any JCX file to view or edit it in the Design or Source View.)

  12. To display the base methods provided on a Dynamic Transformation control, expand the control instance by clicking the + beside its name on the Data Palette.
