Custom Mapping functions

Analogous to the integration of individual Custom-Objekt-Klassen and Creating a CustomJobStep, eBiss also offers the possibility to extend the scope of Functions. Whether a specific function needs to be developed can only be determined after a detailed examination of the requirement. Pranke GmbH is available for inquiries of this kind.

Note:: Before you consider a custom mapping function, we recommend that you search in the XQuery 1.0 and XPath 1.0 Functions and Operators¹⁾ to make sure there's not already a way to do that.

Samples

C# Code for plugin with various custom mapping functions.

ValidateGLN() to validate the GLN/ILN numbers ²⁾.
ValidateBarcode() validates any barcode ID
Abs() calculates the absolute amount of a number.
Map.Functions.CountryCode('DE'), loads the country code from a user defined table/view from current eBiss DB.
Map.Functions.CountryCodeFromDb('DE'), loads the country code from a user defined table/view from a different DB.
