Hello,
We are migrating from triggered tasks to Ultra tasks and encountering some difficulties with return payload formats.
I have a pipeline which integrates a Salesforce contact to a student object in an external system (accessed via SOAP service) via a force.com Apex trigger. The external system returns the student ID, login id and a version code once the integration is complete. The SnapLogic pipeline returns payload in the following format:
{
"StudentXNumber": "X000211",
"StudentVersion": "1",
"StudentLoginId": "userA"
}
This payload is parsed by the Apex trigger and used to update the relevant custom fields in the SF contact object (StudentXNumber, StudentVersion and StudentLoginId).
The portion of the Apex trigger which parses the pipeline response from SnapLogic looks like this:
/**
* Class representing response obtained from callout to integrate a Contact to a student
*
*/
public class DestinyOneContactIntegrationResult {
public String StudentXNumber;
public String StudentVersion;
public String StudentLoginId;
}
โฆ
/**
* Given a DestinyOneContactIntegrationResult json-serialized payload, deserializes and
* populates data back into the given contact
*/
private static void populateContactIntegrationResult(Contact contact, String payload) {
List<DestinyOneContactIntegrationResult> resList =
(List<DestinyOneContactIntegrationResult>)System.JSON.deserialize(payload, List<DestinyOneContactIntegrationResult>.class);
// assume one response at this time
DestinyOneContactIntegrationResult intResult = resList.get(0);
contact.one_Student_X_Number__c = intResult.StudentXNumber;
contact.one_Version__c = intResult.StudentVersion;
contact.one_Login_Id__c = intResult.StudentLoginId;
}
This logic works successfully, when the task is executed as a regular triggered task. To trigger the task as an Ultra task, Iโve created a parent pipeline which runs the original pipeline (now a child pipeline) via a Pipeline Execute and returns the result of the call โฆ
However, when the task is triggered as an Ultra task, the SnapLogic response format from the feedmaster is different somehow which causes the Apex trigger to fail on the deserialize call aboveโฆ
My ultra pipeline looks like this. As you can see the return value of the subpipeline is being returned with no additional processing:

A portion of my subpipeline (including the final mapper snap) is shown below.
What change must I make to my pipelines so that they run correctly in Ultra? Ideally Iโd like to keep my Apex trigger unchanged (so that regardless of how I execute the task in SnapLogic the return payload format is the same)
Thanks,
Omair
For the benefit of anyone whoโs been following this thread, I ran a simple test using a pipeline with a single Mapper snap:
Running the pipeline as a triggered Task returns:
[
{
"StudentXNumber": "X002221",
"StudentVersion": "7",
"StudentLoginId": "X002221"
}
]
Running the pipeline as an Ultra task returns:
{
"StudentXNumber": "X002221",
"StudentVersion": "12",
"StudentLoginId": "X002221",
"original": {
... original payload
}
}
The two key differences are:
- Regular pipeline returns an array containing the JSON object with the return payload
- Ultra pipeline returns a single JSON object
- Ultra pipeline also includes the original payload.
@dmiller this distinction should probably be noted on the documentation page for Ultra tasks because it means that client code that is calling a triggered task will not work if the task is reconfigured as an Ultra task.
