Add json object in the json content of flowfile

avatar

I have a json flowfile with below content

{

"name":"abc"

}

I want the output should be

{

"name":"abc",

"attributes":{

"id":"12233",

"map":"Y"

}

}


How to achieve the same?

You can use UpdateRecord for this, but make sure you have the additional fields in your writer's schema. Alternatively you can use JoltTransformJSON with the following spec:

[
  {
    "operation": "default",
    "spec": {
      "attributes": {
        "id": "12233",
        "map": "Y"
      }
    }
  }
]

@Matt Burgess do you mind helping me out with a similar issue?

I have a json file comming in as :

[ {
  "regId" : "us",
  "cId" : "SomeProduct",
  "weId" : 15,
  "name" : "R",
  "id" : 1539,
  "cityId" : 17,
  "cityName" : "Moskow"
}, {
  "regId" : "us",
  "cId" : "SomeProduct",
  "weId" : 15,
  "name" : "R",
  "id" : 1540,
  "cityId" : 18,
  "cityName" : "Berlin"
}, {
  "regId" : "us",
  "cId" : "SomeProduct",
  "weId" : 15,
  "name" : "R",
  "id" : 1541,
  "cityId" : 19,
  "cityName" : "Vienna"
} ]

I need to add 3 new fields passed from the FlowFile attribute into each element? Can I do that with the update Record also?

[ {
  "new_att":"somevalue",
  "new_att2":"somevalue2",
  "new_att3":"somevalue3",
  "regId" : "us",
  "cId" : "SomeProduct",
  "weId" : 15,
  "name" : "R",
  "id" : 1539,
  "cityId" : 17,
  "cityName" : "Moskow"
}, {
  "new_att":"somevalue",
  "new_att2":"somevalue2",
  "new_att3":"somevalue3",
  "regId" : "us",
  "cId" : "SomeProduct",
  "weId" : 15,
  "name" : "R",
  "id" : 1540,
  "cityId" : 18,
  "cityName" : "Berlin"
}, {
  "new_att":"somevalue",
  "new_att2":"somevalue2",
  "new_att3":"somevalue3",
  "regId" : "us",
  "cId" : "SomeProduct",
  "weId" : 15,
  "name" : "R",
  "id" : 1541,
  "cityId" : 19,
  "cityName" : "Vienna"
} ]

Thanks,
