Copying an existing mapping file

If a message flow project contains a mapping file that you want to reuse in another message flow project, copy the mapping file from one project to the other. You can associate a mapping file only with a node of the same type as the one for which it was created.

  1. Right-click the mapping file that you want to copy and click Copy.
  2. Right-click the message flow project into which you want to copy the mapping file and click Paste.

    If this is the first mapping file to exist in the message flow project, the copied file could be highlighted with errors. Remove these errors by creating a project reference:

    1. Right-click the project that contains the copied file and click Properties.
    2. Click Project References and select the appropriate project.
