When you map outputs, you are mapping from the activity
(parameters) to the orchestration (variables).
To create a map between output parameters and variables:
Procedure
- Open or create an
orchestration.
- If the activity is mapping variables that conform to a
particular XML Schema or DTD upload the XML Schema or DTD file into your project.
- Click the activity in the orchestration that contains the Map
Outputs task in the Checklist.
- Select the Map Outputs task from
the Checklist.
- If not already selected, click Design. The Mapping Editor is displayed
and the output parameters of the activity show in the To Activity
pane.
- Add output variables to the To Orchestration pane:
- To add existing variables to the To Orchestration pane or
create new variables, click Select
Outputs....
- To create new variables and to automatically map those variables
in the To Orchestration pane, click Copy.
- Drag a source node from the From Activity pane to a destination
node of an input parameter listed in the To Orchestration pane. If
the mapping is valid, a link (line) is displayed from the source node
to the destination node, indicating that a mapping rule has been established.
Repeat this step until all the required nodes have been mapped. In
general, it is not a requirement that you map all the outputs from
an activity.
- Optional: Assign Function(s) to a Mapping Rule.
- If possible, test your mappings to ensure that
the output is what you expect.
