SIS 2.6.1 :: SIS Overview and Concepts

Macro components specify reusable boolean expressions, for use in trigger, composition, or interceptor components.

What’s in a macro?

A macro contains the following information:

an optional description
name, vendor and version identifiers
references to any other macro used in the expression
an expression.

Below is a description of macro schema syntax, and an example.

Macro schema syntax

The XML schema sis-macro-1.6.xsd defines macros, using the following schema namespaces:

<macro xmlns="http://www.opencloud.com/SIS/Macro"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opencloud.com/SIS/Macro sis-macro-1.6.xsd">

Sample macro

The following sample macro normalises the address contained in the IN InitialDP CallingPartyNumber parameter, according to Spanish network rules. Below are a summary of those rules, and the macro’s pseudo-code, VIA diagram, and script XML.

Rules

If the CallingPartyNumber Nature of Address indicator states that the address is nationally formatted, the expression either strips the "00" international direct dialing prefix (if present), or adds the "34" country code if the address is a 9-digit (Spanish national) number. In any other case the address is left unchanged.
In the general case this should provide an address starting with "34" followed by a 9-digit national number, such as "34607000001".
The macro assigns the normalised address (or the original address if it wasn’t changed) to the user-defined variable user.normalised-cgpn.
If the InitialDP does not have a CallingPartyNumber parameter, no user-defined variable is created.
This condition always evaluates to true.

Pseudo-code

if (calling-party-number is present) {
    if (calling-party-number.nature == NATIONAL) {
       if (calling-party-number.address starts with "0034") {
          user.normalised-cgpn = (calling-party-number.address without "00" prefix)
          return true
       }
       else if (calling-party-number.address is 9 digits long) {
          user.normalised-cgpn = ("34" + calling-party-number.address)
          return true
       }
    }
    // just use the same value if we can't change it
    user.normalised-cgpn = calling-party-number.address
    return true
 }
 else {
    return true
 }

VIA diagram

The SIS scripting language uses short-circuit boolean evaluation. In this current release of VIA, the order of arguments to AND and OR expressions is based on the order in which they have been associated with the AND or OR symbols.

If you are relying on the behaviour of short-circuit boolean evaluation (for example to guard an ASSIGN or DELETE), then you must take care with the order you define the parameters to AND and OR.

See Macros in the SIS Visual Interaction Architect (VIA) User Guide for information about macros.

Normalise the CallingPartyNumber parameter according to Spanish numbering conventions

This macro always returns true

pseduo-code version:
 if (calling-party-number is present) {
    if (calling-party-number.nature == NATIONAL) {
       if (calling-party-number.address starts with "0034") {
          user.normalised-cgpn = (calling-party-number.address without "00" prefix)
          return true
       }
       else if (calling-party-number.address is 9 digits long) {
          user.normalised-cgpn = ("34" + calling-party-number.address)
          return true
       }
    }
    // just use the same value if we can't change it
    user.normalised-cgpn = calling-party-number.address
    return true
 }
 else {
    return true
 }
