Including additional fields in a mapping

Before you start:

Sometimes you need to define additional fields in the message definitions used in a source or target mapping. To see these changes reflected in the mapping view, first change the message definition as described in Working with message model objects.

If you have the .mfmap file that uses the updated message open at the time that you save your updated message definition, the Dependency Changed window appears.

  1. Click Reopen and the Save Resource window informs you that the message source has been modified and asks you to confirm the action. The mapping view closes and reopens, showing the modified message structure.
  2. From the Dependency Changed window you can also click Ignore if you don't want to see the updated message definition in your mapping view at this time.
