Edit the Configuration of a REST API Context Table

To edit the configuration of a REST API context table:

  1. On the Overview tab, click the Options icon (icon-options.png) to the right of a specific REST API context table and select Edit. The Configuration panel opens on the right.

  2. On the Definition tab, you can modify the following information:

    • Context Table Name – Enter a new name for the context table.

      Note

      Changing context table names is currently prohibited in order to avoid breaking functionality in downstream applications.

    • REST API Collector – Select a different REST API Context cloud collector as the source of data in the context table.

  3. Click on the Review Attributes tab to modify the attribute mapping for the context table.

    The attribute mapping table has the following columns (as shown in the image below):

    • icon-visible.png – Shows whether a specific attribute is visible as a column in the context table. Use the icon next to each attribute to toggle the display on or off.

    • Source Attribute – Shows the attributes extracted from the API response in the cloud collector.

    • Target Attribute – Shows the target attributes that are mapped to the source attributes. You can hover your cursor over a specific target attribute to see what data type it has been assigned.

    • icon-key.png – Indicates that an attribute is designated as the key attribute for the context table. The designated key and its mapping cannot be changed.

    • icon-lock.png – Indicates that an attribute and its mapping cannot be changed.

    You can modify the mapping of any REST API attribute, that is not a key or a locked attribute, in the following ways:

    • Hover over an attribute row where you want to change the mapping.

    • Click the delete icon (icon-delete.png) to remove the currently mapped target attribute.

    • Then click Add Target Attributes and do one of the following:

      • Search for and select an existing target attribute to map it as the target.

      • Click Add Custom Attribute and create a new target attribute to be mapped. A small Attribute Name dialog box opens. Enter a name for the new custom attribute and select a data type from the Type drop down list. Then click the plus icon (icon-add-attribute.png) to add the new attribute to the Target Attributes column with a custom icon (icon-custom-attribute.png).

  4. When you are satisfied with the configuration edits, click Update to save the changes.
