Question
DSM: Data Flow with and without using a convert shape
https://pdn.pega.com/tutorial-building-headless-decisioning-scenario-data-flows-pega-721#4
In the headless decisioning scenario a convert shape has been used for the Make Decision (DecisionFlow data flow) to convert from
DMOrg-DMSample-Int-Decision to DMOrg-DMSample-Data-Customer
But while receiveing response (ResponseFlow data flow) no convert shape has been used. Any specific reason for not using convert shape in the response flow. If we donot use the convert shape, will the data flow automatically map the properties from one class to other with same name
Accepted Solution
Hi,
Conversion from one class to the other will always require an explicit mapping.
In this case the response strategy is defined on the DMOrg-DMSample-Int-Response class, not on Data-Customer. This makes sense - it doesnt need customer attributes, just works on the data provided in the response class.
