Creating a Map Variables Activity from a Standalone Map

About this task

The following procedure provides instructions for creating a Map Variables activity from a standalone map. For more information about standalone maps and the inline map of a Map Variables activity, see About Maps.

To create a Map Variables activity from a standalone map:

Procedure

  1. Select the Project tab.
  2. Select the orchestration that you want to add the Map Variables activity to, by double-clicking the orchestration in the Orchestrations folder of the Project tab.
  3. Drag a Map from the Transformations folder of the Project tab, onto the orchestration. The Link Schema Type to Variables dialog box opens.
  4. For all the input and output schema types of the map, enter the name of an existing variable or a new variable in the Orchestration Variable field.
  5. Click OK. The new Map Activity shows in the orchestration.
    Important: The new inline map created for the Map Variables activity is a copy of the standalone map in the Project tab. Changing the map in the Map Variables activity does not change the new standalone map. The converse is also true, changing the new standalone map does not change the map in the Map Variables activity.
