Lists a Conditional Assignment example in Microsoft Azure BizTalk Services.

Conditional Assignment Example

The input document has a Person node with a Title field. The output document also has a Title field. The goal is for the Title field in the output document be created only if Title exists in the input document and if the Title field is not null.

To do this, use the Conditional Assignment Map Operation:

1. Drag the Conditional Assignment Map Operation to the Transform Designer area.

2. Create a link from the Title field in the output document to this Conditional Assignment Map Operation.

3. Add a Logical Expression Map Operation and do the following:

   • Create a link from the Title field in the input document to this Logical Expression Map Operation.

   • Configure the Logical Expression Map Operation to state: Exists(Title) && !IsEmpty(Title)

   • Create a link from the output of this Logical Expression as the first input to the Conditional Assignment Map Operation.

4. Create a link from the Title field in the input document to the Conditional Assignment Map Operation.

With this Transform, the Title node in the output is created only if the Title node in the input document exists and is non-empty.
