Kafka dataset
I have a Data flow that has a kafka dataset as the source and an activity in the destination. The data kafka is retrieving is in JSON format. We need to convert that data to xml. The problem i am facing, I am not able to catch the primary context on which the data is coming to the activity. For eg when the Data flow is reading records, I am not able to see anything in the clipboard even though I am using custom pages in the activity to process the incoming data. Is there a way to view the data coming to the activity for successful records? And how can I convert the JSON to xml format ? Is there any ootb feature to do that?

@SoumyaM4 To view data coming from a Kafka dataset in a Pega Data Flow, ensure the data is properly mapped to a clipboard page by using a data transform before the activity. Create a custom page in the activity (e.g., MyCustomPage) and use the pxConvertStringToPage function to map the incoming JSON data onto the page. To convert the JSON to XML, use pxConvertStringToPage to parse the JSON into a clipboard page and then apply pxConvertPageToString to convert the page data into XML format. Enable Data Flow logging and use Log-Message steps to verify the data being processed in the clipboard. Make sure the class context is correctly set in the Data Flow and that the page references match the data schema from Kafka. This approach will help you capture the incoming data and convert it from JSON to XML using Pega’s OOTB features
