Issue/Introduction

If we have to enter a large amount of map entities in the  fill Map Value assertion using the UI is cumbersome and time consuming .

Is there any  more convenient way to load the mapping from a file in any format like csv, json, xml etc. instead of filling up Map Value Assertion manually via Map Value Properties and adding Mappings ?

 

Environment

Release : 9.x

Component : API Gateway

Resolution

There is no import function for the map assertion itself to load the mappings.

As a workaround you can :

• create a dummy policy
• add the map assertion to it
• add some sample mappings
• export the policy to xml
• Check the created xml
• add your mappings to the xml in the mappings section
• import the dummy policy again
• copy the map assertion from the dummy policy to your policy
