Automating multi-vendor, multi-domain networks can cause a lot of headaches, especially when it comes to manipulating data into various formats. Different tasks on different systems often involve working with the same data in sequence, but each system has its own data requirements. With Itential’s JST (JSON Schema Transformation) Designer, users can easily add reusable data transformations to their automation workflows, enabling seamless task orchestration across different network systems and domains.
With the Array Reduce and Array Reduce Right methods, users can apply iterative functions to an array of values and return a single value to output and use in the next task along an automation workflow. Arrays can be reduced in different ways depending on the function applied, and users can easily define incoming and outgoing schema for use as an automation asset.
In this ItentiaLearn demo, see how to use JST Designer to reduce arrays by:
- Creating new JSON Schema Transformations.
- Adding incoming schema and defining required inputs.
- Adding transformation methods and creating functions.
- Using the JST in your automation workflows.
