Defining mappings

Before you start:

Before you can define your mappings, you must have defined already the message or database formats for both the source and the target that you want to use.

Defining the mapping then involves a number of possible options and operations:

The mappings are defined using the Message Brokers Toolkit for WebSphere Studio.

Note: If a message element is of a type that extends a base type, only the elements or attributes explicitly defined in the extended type can be mapped in the Message Flow Mapping editor. To access elements or attributes defined in the base type, either use the Compute node, or define a type that contains the content of the base type, instead of deriving the elements or attributes from the base type.
