Publishing mappings

Mappings are published using a Mapper Generator that is associated with the Mapper Server.

Publish action updates the Mapper Database to make the mapping available for the Mapper Server. The mappings are loaded into the Mapper Sever and are ready to run after they have been activated or reactivated.

For ION, published mappings can be used through ION Desk to configure active document flows and business connection points that are based on the input or output schema types that are specified in the mapping.

You must reactivate the mapping to use a republished mapping.

For IEC, published mappings can be used in Partner Agreements using the Partner Agreement Tool.

You must reactivate the mapping to use the republished mapping.

Double-click a mapping to open in the Mapper Editor view.
Right click the Mapper Editor view, select Publish....
Select a server location.
Optionally, click Test connection to check the connectivity to the server machine. If there is an error, take note of the error details to correct later. Click OK to proceed.
Click Finish.
The mapping is automatically validated and saved to the server before it is published.

First, if there is a validation error, a confirmation dialog will be shown. Click Yes to continue saving the mapping. Click No to abort the operation. If the mapping only has validation warnings, for example document checksum warnings, no confirmation dialog is displayed. You cannot disable this automatic validation. If there are validation errors or warnings, you can right-click in the mapping and select Validate to view the validation errors and warnings.

Then, the mapping is saved to the server. The same dialog for confirmation of adding or overwriting the mapping in the Mapper Database is used as when saving the mapping to the server. See the task "Save to server" in Saving a mapping.

Lastly, the mapping is published on the server.
