Defining the mappings

When both the Source and the Target are configured, you are presented with a list of source fields on the left, a list of target fields on the right, and two columns of anchors. You define mappings by connecting these anchor points.

Each field has an anchor point displayed immediately next to it: Anchor icon

You use anchor points to map source fields to target fields by drawing a wire to connect them.

Mappings are displayed in one of three colors:
Green
Indicates that the source and target data types match and that the mapping is valid.
Green mapping
Amber
Indicates that there is a mismatch in data type, but it is possible to automatically convert from one data type to the other. For example, a numeric data type can be automatically converted to a string. In this situation, a warning icon Warning icon is displayed in the Result column on the right. Click this icon to see detailed information about the warning.
Amber mapping
Red
Indicates that the source field cannot be mapped to the target field because of data type incompatibility. You cannot save any integrations with red mappings. In this situation, an error icon Error icon is displayed in the Result column on the right. Click this icon to see detailed information about the error.
Red mapping

Procedure

To draw a wire, either click the chosen source anchor followed by the intended target anchor or drag the source anchor and drop it on the target anchor.

A wire is drawn connecting the two fields. This signifies that when the integration is running and receives data from the source system, the value of the source field is copied unchanged into the target field. Cast Iron® Express® provides sample data from the Source system on the left side and uses this sample data to populate the results of the mapping in the Target Result column on the right side.
