Hi - I have created a routine in Connector Rule to fetch the Worker data from HCM and I was able to assign it to a variables and able to print it successfully.

My question is below

1. How I can assign the variables to the List because I am trying to use this connector rule in Data Source and trying to bring the data to the OS stage Area ? is it possible, My function return type is task for the RESTAPI call.

2. Or I can create a Extender Rule and create a Table in the Backend and import into the table and create an another connector rule to bring it to the stage.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Krishna

Hi Krishna,

You would typically parse the results from the API into a DataTable and then use api.Parser.ProcessDataTable to populate Stage.

You will need to use different approaches to populate the DataTable depending on the format of the data e.g. for JSON use the Newtonsoft framework.

I did ask around how to use the ClientFilterRequest method in the connector. However, there is nothing in the documentation around it or how to pass that to the connector rule. Maybe this is not exposed in the UI.

Long story short, I don't think you can pass a parameter or filter to the connector rule (even though a method is there).
