Jitterbit : Print http request body

I have a Jitterbit operation that i am trying to debug and as part of this there is a transformation that takes a flat file structure as input and transforms this to a json structure.

This json structure is the input to Http Post operation. I want to print the Http request json body before it executes the request to understand what kind of data is going.

Please suggest a way to get the http body.

enter image description here

I have tried printing the body to operation log using

WriteToOperationLog("Request Body: "+ $jitterbit.api.request.body);

and

WriteToOperationLog("Request Body: "+ $jitterbit.target.http.b);

but it is not printing the http request body

Solution

  • $jitterbit.api.request.body captures the body of an API request sent TO your operation, not what you would be sending outbound. I would suggest two things:

    1. If you only care about the body, have the transformation feed into a global variable target, then use a script to write the global variable to your operation log.
    2. If you need to capture the full request (i.e., headers and all), Pipedream works well.
