This scenario shows how you can convert a message map (.msgmap) file to a graphical data map (.map)) type, what the differences between the mapping transforms are, and how to configure converted transforms.
Message maps are used in WebSphere® Message Broker Version 6.1 and WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0. Graphical data maps are used in WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0 and later. Graphical data maps benefit from being based on XML schema and XPath standards, which provide a greater range of transforms, including XPath 2.0 expressions.
You cannot edit or develop WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0 and earlier version message maps in the toolkit for WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0 or later versions. To edit message maps by using the Graphical Data Mapping editor as part of WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0 and later, you must convert your message maps to graphical data maps.
