Creating a graphical data map file from a Mapping node
You can use a Mapping node to create a graphical data map with messages as input and output objects. Data from database tables can also be used as input to the map.
Before you create a graphical data map file, ensure that you
complete the following tasks:
- Create an application, a library, or a Message Broker project, as described in the following topics:
- Create a message flow; see Creating a message flow.
- Define message flow content that includes a Mapping node; see Defining message flow content.
To create a graphical data mapping (.map) file from a Mapping node:
- In the Broker Application Development perspective, open your message flow.
- Double-click a Mapping node that does not have a graphical data map (.map) file associated with it, or right-click the Mapping node and click Open Map. The New Message Map wizard opens.
- On the Specify a new message map file pane, the type of map that you want to create is selected as Message map called by a message flow node. This is a message map that can be accessed from a node. Properties are associated with any input or output messages, and you can select to include message headers and the LocalEnvironment with the message body.
- Specify the Container, Map name, and broker Schema for the message map, or use the values that have been entered for you by the wizard. Click Next.
- On the Select map inputs and outputs pane, expand the list of available input objects, and select the input objects that you want to use as inputs to the map. If necessary, use the Filter map input names field to filter what is shown in the list of available objects. Each object in the list is displayed in the form: objectname {namespace}.
- Expand the list of available output objects, and select the output objects that you want to use as outputs for the map. If necessary, use the Filter map output names field to filter what is shown in the list of available objects. Each object in the list is displayed in the form: objectname {namespace}. Click Next
- On the Select the domain to create the output pane, specify the Output domain for the message map.
- Click Finish to create the message map. The new message map is created, and the Graphical Data Mapping editor opens with the selected inputs and outputs.
After you have created a graphical data map file, you can edit the
mappings; see Editing a graphical data map.
