Wrapping a MIF outbound JSON message

  • 1.  Wrapping a MIF outbound JSON message

    Posted 11 hours ago
    I have a publish channel that is sending an outbound JSON message to an external system's REST API. I need to take the basic Maximo message and wrap it with some metadata. I want the URL and API key in the message to be replaced with a value coming from Maximo system properties.
    What are my options? Can I use the JSON Mapper application? If so, how do you get at the system property values for those fields in the mapping?
    Can I do this with an automation script? I looked at the publish channel external exit script, but it looks like they work with a StructuredData object, and I'm not sure how much control I have over the structure of the message.
    Any feedback, or better yet, examples, would be very helpful! For reference, this is what I'm trying to get a message to look like:
    {
        "targets": [
            {
              "method": "POST",
                "headers":[
                    {
                        "headerKey": "x-api-key",
                        "headerValue": "0d************************************************************59"
                    }
                ],
                "url": "https://externalsys.mydomain.com/updatecue"
            }
        ],
        "payload": {
                "_action": "Replace",
                "_event": true,
                "_id": "ABCD-50047",
