Access to Contents of Virtual Documents

To work with data in a virtual document, you must be able to identify a specific data item within it. The data item is called a virtual property. An virtual property path is the syntax that InterSystems IRIS uses to specify the location of a virtual property. You can use virtual property paths in the following locations, among others:

  • Business rules. The following shows an example:

    Virtual property path in the condition porperty of a when clause in a business rule

    The curly braces enclose a virtual property path.

  • Data transformations. The following shows an example:

    Virtual property path in the Property and Value fields of an assign action in a data transformation

    For both Property and Value, the curly braces enclose a virtual property path.

As a consequence, your production can work with a virtual document in much the same way that it works with standard messages.

For details, see Virtual Property Paths.
