Additional Info:

The string structure that follows is a streamlined structure that the developers/users follow throughout an automation workflow designed in BAAR:

"Column_1__=__abc__$$__Column_2__=__def__::__Column_1__=__hello__$$__Column_2__=__world"

Available functions and the examples are listed below:

1. read_convert(string), Output Data Type: list of dictionary

2. write_convert(input_list), Output Data Type: string

Attributes:

i. input_list: List that contains the Dictionaries of Data, Data Type = List

Input:  [{"Column_1":"abc", "Column_2":"def"}, {"Column_1":"hello", "Column_2":"world"}]
Output: "Column_1__=__abc__$$__Column_2__=__def__::__Column_1__=__hello__$$__Column_2__=__world"

3. string_to_df(string, rename_cols, drop_dupes), Output Data Type: pandas DataFrame

Attributes:

i. encrypted_message: Encrypted Baar Vault Data, Data Type = string

ii. config_file: Keys, that need to be provided by Allied Media.

This function can also be called from a Robot Framework Script by importing the baarutil library and using the Decrypt Vault keyword. Upon initiation of this function, this will set the Log Level of the Robot Framework script to NONE for security reasons. The Developers have to use Set Log Level INFO in the robot script in order to restart the Log.

Input:  <<Encrypted Text>>
Output: <<Decrypted Text>>
