After you combine the half maps of a source and destination environment for object stores, connection points, security principals, or services, the data map editor is opened automatically. You can view or update the resulting data map. If you closed the data map editor and want to reopen it, use the steps in the following procedure.
To open a data map editor for a source-destination pair:
Option | Description |
---|---|
View a data map | Each row in a data map contains the information of the
combined source and destination half map pairs for that data map
type (object store, connection point, security principal, or service).
Although each type of data map contains columns that are specific
to that data map type, the first two columns are the same for all
three data map types:
You can update the appearance of a data map as follows:
Any changes that you make to the appearance of a data map are not saved; if you close and then reopen a data map editor, the column, and row order in the data map reverts to the default appearance. |
Update a data map | By changing the contents of a destination field in a data map, you can change the destination half map item that a source half map item is mapped to. Each destination column that holds destination half map items with distinguishing values provides a list from which you can select a new destination half map field. By contrast, a destination column that holds destination half map fields that do not have distinguishing values, for example, the Destination Principal Type column in a security principal data map, does not provide a list. Therefore, if a half map does not have distinguishing values, it cannot be used for mapping purposes. You cannot directly change the contents of a source field in a data map; however, the source label field can be modified as a result of mapping or unmapping a source half map item. FileNet Deployment Manager allows many-to-one mapping for object store, service data map, and security principal data map types. For more information, see Many-to-one security principal mappings. You can change the mappings in a data map as follows:
To save your changes, select Save from the File menu. When a data map is changed, any changes that are made to its source and destination label fields are automatically saved to the corresponding source and destination half map labels. Because the half maps are automatically updated, a saved data map can usually be re-created from its source and destination half maps. |
