Generating mappings

Use this procedure to verify that a mapping can be translated into Java code that is accepted by the Mapper Server.

  1. Double-click a mapping to open in the Mapper Editor view.
  2. Right-click the Mapper Editor view and select Generate....
  3. Select a server location where the mappings can be deployed.
  4. 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.
  5. Click Finish.
  6. The mapping is automatically validated and saved to the server before it is generated.

    First, if there is a validation error, a confirmation dialog is displayed. 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 generated on the server.
