Creating a new mapping

  1. In the Mapping Explorer view, select a project to contain this mapping.

    Right-click the project and select New Mapping.

  2. Specify this information:
    Project

    Specify the project name.

    At the start, if you right-click a project, the Project field is automatically populated with the project that you selected.

    To specify another project, click the browse button for the Project field. Click OK.

    Mapping name

    Specify a descriptive name for the mapping. The default name is MyMapping.

    Input Schema

    Specify a default schema name. The default name is DefaultInput.

    To accept the default input schema, click Default for this field.

    To change the default input schema, click Browse for this field. Click Open.

    Output Schema

    Optionally, specify a default output schema name. The default name is DefaultOutput.

    To accept the default output schema, click Default for this field.

    To change the default output schema, click Browse for this field. Click Open.

  3. Click Next.
  4. Select a root element for the input and output schemas.

    The input and output schemas can contain multiple element definitions. Select a root element for the input data structure and a root element for the output data structure.

    For example:

    Default Element IN_TAG_ROOT

    Default Namespace http://www.intentia.com/MBM

  5. Click Finish.

    In the Mapping Console view, the status of the new mapper and error messages, if any, are displayed.

    In the Mapping Explorer view, the new mapping is listed under the project where it belongs. To view the contents of your new mapping, expand the nodes under the project folder.

    When successfully completed, the new mapping is added to your selected project. On the Mapping Editor area, the input schema in the left pane and the output schema in the right pane are shown. The space in the middle is for a sequence of mapping functions that you can add later on.
