OD Version 7.2.3.0803

I am attempting to populate a complex OD variable with the return JSON. Only the first variable gets populated, nothing else. Please see the attached screenshot. Here is a snippet of the tomcat log along with the JSON that is being returned:

You can see that OD stores the first variable, but does not store anything else ... why? How do I get the complex variable filled?

Thank you.

Hi. I see you are using OD 7.x, take a look at

Thanks for the reply. I found this link most interesting: https://www.devconnectprogram.com/forums/posts/list/22397.page

Based on what I found in that link, I tested with OD 8.1 and AEP 8.1 ... same issue. It looks like the work around is build Java code.

Why has this not been fixed? It looks like this has been an OD bug for several versions back.

Thanks

I did not see this, but it turns out there is another way to process JSON strings. Just use the JSON PDC built into OD. It works great. This will be our preferred method for parsing JSON.

I am still wondering though why Avaya has not fixed the JSON web connector return string issue though?

Thanks

Hi. There is a sample app using the JSON PDC for parsing on the last link of the previous post:

Here is some info (section 'New Feature Notes' on page 2):
