O2C Demo Data Generator - Complete Script
This page contains the complete refactored PowerShell 7+ script for generating Order-to-Cash demo data. This version consolidates message generation, BPM logic, and helper functions for improved maintainability.
Key improvements:
- Cross-platform compatible (PowerShell 7+ with ternary operators)
- Consolidated message payload generation
- Streamlined BPM relationship logic
- Helper functions for code reuse
- Better performance and readability
Script Requirements
- PowerShell Version: 7.0 or later
- Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS
- Dependencies: None (uses built-in cmdlets)
Complete Script
# Generate-O2C-Demo-Data.ps1 (REFACTORED - PowerShell 7+ Required)
#
# PowerShell script to generate 100 Order-to-Cash (O2C) demo orders and log them to Nodinite Log API
# Refactored version with consolidated message generation, BPM logic, and helper functions
# REQUIRES: PowerShell 7.0+ for ternary operators and null-coalescing (cross-platform compatible)
#
# Usage:
# pwsh .\Generate-O2C-Demo-Data.ps1 -LogApiUrl "https://your-nodinite-instance/api/v2/LogEvents" `
