Customize response for Import Set API?

valerybondarchi · ‎04-12-2017

Hello all,

I wanted to add an array of errors to the response of import set API by using response object (like response.errors = [])

It works fine for strings, but if I try to add an array, it returns:

{

"import_set": "ISET0031955",

"staging_table": "imp_create_request",

"result": [

{

"transform_map": "Imp Create Request",

"table": "u_catalog_request_via_api",

"status": "error",

"error_message": "'u_requested_for'='valery.bondarchik1@wolterskluwer.com': User record not found; Target record not found",

"errors": "org.mozilla.javascript.NativeArray@12432d1"

}

]

}

Am I out of luck?

As long as it's a properly formatted JSON String they should be able to parse it. The ImportSetAPI is returning a string for errors, and I don't believe you can modify it.

On their end they'll just do the equivalent of...

var errorObj = new JSON().decode(response.errors);

Hi,

Can't you send the response as a JSON Array?

response.errors = {"root": {"A": "Value"},{"B": "Value"},{"C": "Value"} };

Thanks

Hello Alikutty,

Unfortunately, this way I get:

{

"import_set": "ISET0031955",

"staging_table": "imp_create_request",

"result": [

{

"transform_map": "Imp Create Request",

"table": "u_catalog_request_via_api",

"status": "error",

"error_message": " User record not found; Target record not found",

"errors": "[object Object]"

}

]

}

Hi Valery,

Please convert the object to a string, I believe the same should work for your array.

Thanks

Hello,

If object is converted to a string it will be represented as string. It will complicate things for integration partner and won't look pretty.

Best regards,

Valery
