RedCarpetChapter 7: UsingTransformationsOverviewRedCarpet methods allow you to use XSLTs to transform boththe input and the output of many RedCarpet methods.Transforming the XML from one format to another is useful forchanging export from one system to the expected the inputformat of a RedCarpet method. RedCarpet allows atransformation of the output to another format for ease of use forconsumption of the output to another system.SilkRoad also uses the output XLSTs to maintain backwardcompatibility with previous versions of the RedCarpet methods.Manage TransformationsUsageThe Manage Transformations page is available through theRedCarpet user interface. The manage page allows you toupload XSLT files into the RedCarpet database. Uploaded filesare available to be referenced by the method call either byoperation or by reference.RedCarpet administrators with the “Manage Transformation”privilege have access the “Manage Transformations”Administration menu option.Defined transformations are applied based on reference byname, each time an operation (method) is executed, or based onwhich user is executing the method.Default ConfigurationRedCarpet version 2.8.0 introduced the first set of updates toexisting method outputs. The updates are in response tocustomer requests to include more information on the successfulrecords for bulk operations.By default, the output of the method will match the 2.7.x output.The default behavior does not change to insure systemintegrations with RedCarpet will work after upgrading to versionsof RedCarpet after 2.7.x.Web Service 138
