includes a number of enhancements to multistep that provide functionality familiar
to programmers, including loops of actions, conditional execution of actions, and
the ability to execute actions in parallel. Explore how you can combine the new
features in multistep 3 to build an RSS feed aggregator.
DataPower Extension Functions
It dove into the world of Datapower contexts and what I call the ‘magic’ XSLT functions that datapower adds on. I consider things like dp:prioritiy, dp:variable to be a part of these add-ons. Example: Printing the headers you can access them via: dp:variable(“var://service/header-manifest”) When there are multiple match rules in rules, it is “one and […]

Addenddum to DataPower Parallel Invocation Support
Thanks to ‘the internet’ for letting me know that in the 3.6.1 revision of the firmware, DataPower can now invoke multiple endpoints in parallel.
