How to use a Connector Business Process

Below is an example showing how the eBay Connector Business Process can be used. In the following example, the GetItem.bps (from the Connector Project) is used to retrieve details of a specific item. This is followed by a step (Ruleset) that will then transform the received data.

Steps to create the Connector and Integration Projects

1. Create an eBay Connector project.
2. Create an Integration Project (CIC Project).
3. Set the Connector Project as a dependency in the Integration Project.
4. To perform an operation using the Connector BP and Schemas, follow the steps below:
   • Create a Business Process.
   • Create a task in the above Business Process to include the Business Process from the Connector project, i.e. GetItem.bps.

   • Create another task in the Business Process referencing a Ruleset that will map from JSON to any supported schema. All the connector schemas (request and response) will be in JSON format. In this Ruleset, map the required fields.

     

     
     Note: If XEBAYCMARKETPLACEID is present in the parameter list, please go to https://developer.eBay.com/api-docs/static/rest-request-components.html#marketpl and find the appropriate Marketplace ID from the Marketplace ID values section. (for example, EBAY_GB for Great Britain). Use the same Marketplace ID for XEBAYCMARKETPLACEID parameter as shown in the example below.
