Port/VLAN Configuration (EOS) - Transformations

Next we will build a Transformation (JST) to manipulate the data from form input to the Itential Pre-Built. We know that users will be submitting data using our form,  but when doing that the values are not sent to the workflow individually; they are sent as a single variable called formData. To handle this, we will need to transform the data. To do that, we’ll build a Transformation.

For this module, we will leverage the JSON Form created in the Port/VLAN Configuration (EOS) - JSON Form module. If you have not yet, please complete that module first. We will be using the JSON Preview form data for our Transformation in this module.

Step 1

From the IAP Home page, click Automation Studio

Step 2

Click the + icon in the upper left navigation window. The Create window opens.

Step 3

In the Create window, select Transformation and give it a name of Lab - Port Turn Up - EOS JST - XX. (XX represents your initials)

Click CREATE.

Step 4

A fresh canvas opens and we begin to create our transformation. Click the + under Incoming Schemas.

Step 5

Schemas can be created by entering sample JSON. We'll use the output data we copied from the JSON Form. Paste the JSON Form data on the right.  In case you no longer have your copied data, you can use the sample data below.

{
"autoApprove": false,
"type": "Vlan",
"cidr": "30",
"device": "EOS",
"id": "25",
"description": "test_vlan",
"ipAddress": "20.0.0.97"
