Which action should you use to perform a calculation on every element of an array in an Integration Procedure?

• A. Use a Matrix Action to call a Calculation Matrix
• B. Use a List Action to merge the array elements together
• C. Use a Calculation Action to call a Calculation Procedure
• D. Use a Set Values Element inside a Loop Block

Answer: (C)

To apply a calculation to every element in an array, use a reusable calculation routine and run it for each item. A Calculation Procedure holds the business logic for the calculation, and a Calculation Action is how you execute that logic from an Integration Procedure. When you loop over the array, you pass the current element into the Calculation Procedure via a Calculation Action, then capture and store the result as needed. This approach keeps the calculation centralized and reusable, ensuring consistency across different IPs. Others approaches don’t fit because a Calculation Matrix with a Matrix Action is meant for matrix-style operations on structured data, not a simple per-element calculation on a generic array. A List Action that merges elements doesn’t perform calculations. A Set Values element inside a Loop Block can assign values, but the actual calculation is still performed by a Calculation Procedure invoked through a Calculation Action.
