Aurion Query Attribute Order
Hi,
I've had a question from the customer regarding the queries the Aurion connector uses to pull data via the WSDL.
Does it matter if extra attributes that are not included in the schema/mapping are added to the query and does it matter what order the attributes are returned in the query?
Thanks,
Liam
Answer
Hey Liam,
No - extra fields aren't an issue. The Aurion connector uses the configured schema and mappings as the source of truth for which fields to read. So when iterating through the results of the query, each schema mapping row is attempted to be read from the results and set on the entity if it exists. So if the schema mapping doesn't exist on the query it will just skip over it, and extra ones that might be returned from the query will just be ignored if they're not in the schema.
There's also no order requirement - the query results come back in blobs of XML, and we just iterate over the results retrieving the required elements. So the connector code has no expectation of order.
