Extend a standard context definition where you want to inherit all the standard components such as nodes, attributes, and mappings. Then add components to the extended context definition based on your business requirements.

DRO Admin User

Prerequisite: Enable permission for context service users.

To make sure that your nodes and attributes are updated with the right input data, create a mapping structure for your context definition. After you create your context definition, search for objects, and click the node and attribute icons that you want to connect to the object fields to start mapping.

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Context Definitions and select it.
  2. For the SalesTransactionsContext record, click Down Arrow, and select Extend.
  3. Enter a name for the context definition, and click Next.
  4. Save your changes.
  5. On the Custom Definition tab, open the new context definition.
  6. For the OrderEntitiesMapping record, click Down Arrow, and select Clone.
  7. Save the new mapping by entering a name and for the new mapping record, click Down Arrow, and then select Edit sObject Mapping.
  8. To set this mapping as your default mapping, select Mark as default, and then click Map.
    The page shows the mapping attributes on the left, and the entity fields on the right.
  9. Delete these field mappings between the Sales Transaction node and the Order object by using the Delete icon: Order, OrderAction, OrderItem, OrderItemAttribute, OrderItemDetail, OrderItemGroup, OrderItemRecipient, OrderItemRelationship, and OrderItemTaxLineItem.
  10. In the Connect Objects section on the right, click Add, find and select the business process object that you want to orchestrate, and save your changes.
  11. To map the Sales Transaction node attributes with the new business process object fields, click a mapping attribute, and then click the field that you want to map the attribute to.
    Important
    Important You must delete the default mapping where the OrderID attribute of the FulfillmentTransaction node is mapped to the OrderID field in the FulfillmentOrder object. Then, if the FulfillmentOrder object already has a field that references the business object, map the FulfillmentTransaction node's OrderID attribute to that field. Otherwise, create a custom field on the FulfillmentOrder object and map the OrderID attribute to that field.
