Mapping
- About Maps
Maps define how data is transformed by the Integration Appliance during run time. Maps can reorganize data, convert data, suppress or add data, and performing calculations or other complex conversions. - Creating a map
Create a map between the variables and the input parameter or between the output parameters and the variables. - Creating a Standalone Map
A standalone map is visible in the Transformations folder of the Project tab and represents a set of one or more mappings between source and destination nodes. - Creating a Standalone Map from a Map Variables Activity
- Creating a Map Variables Activity from a Standalone Map
- Adding Variables to Mapping Panes
You can add existing variables to a map or create new variables and add them to a map using the Select Inputs.. or Select Outputs... buttons available from the mapping panes of an activity. - Copying Parameters
- Replacing a Variable used in a Map
- Finding Nodes
- Assigning a Default Value for a Destination Node
- Mapping Techniques
- Automapping Matching Nodes
- Bulk Mapping Nodes
- Mapping Recurring Nodes
- Mapping All Occurrences
- Mapping Specific Occurrences
- Mapping Destination Nodes
- Selecting a substitution type
The XML Schema specification supports the ability to derive complex types by extension. - Mapping Rules That Are Automatically Deleted
- Assigning a Count of Occurrences
- Removing Mapping Rules
- Finding Sample or Result Content
- Loading a Sample Message
- Testing maps
You can test the transformation defined in a map using one or more sample messages that match the source schemas for the map. - Saving or Clearing the Transformation Result
- The Emit CData Option
- The Emit Only If Option
- Unsupported XML Schema Features
- About Unmapped Destination Nodes
During transformations, the Integration Appliance includes all destination nodes in the result message. Destination nodes that are not mapped become empty nodes in the resulting message. - Filter Recurring Nodes
By specifying an XPath predicate to filter against during run time, you can limit the recurring nodes returned by a mapping activity.
