Concept: Components and Steps

You can add steps to
async-mediation
and
sync-mediation
components only.
Workday Studio provides steps that support operations such as transformation, validation, and logging. You can also write custom steps using Spring beans.
The
async-mediation
component supports 1 processing chain, handling request messages only. The
sync-mediation
component supports 2 processing chains, handling request messages and request-response messages.
Steps have
Input
and
Output
properties that specify where they obtain data as input and where they direct the output. There are 5 possible values:
Option
Description
message
The entire message, including rootpart and attachments. When you specify this option, Studio creates a new message, effectively removing any attachments.
soapbody
The contents of the SOAP body from the rootpart of the message.
attachment
A MIME attachment to the message. Specify the index value of the attachment you wish to access. You can also add a new attachment to the message by specifying an index value of -1.
rootpart
The content of the rootpart of a MIME message, or if the message isn't MIME, the message itself. When specified for the output attribute, this value preserves any attachments on the original message.
variable
A variable from the
MediationContext
. Specify the name of the variable to use.
