Creating a graphical data map in the Broker Development view

You can create a graphical data map file for use in your message flows in the Broker Development view.

Before you create a mapping file, you must complete the following tasks:
  1. Create an application, a library, or a Message Broker project, as described in the following topics:
  2. Create a message flow; see Creating a message flow.
  3. Define message flow content that includes a Mapping node; see Defining message flow content.

To create a graphical data map (.map) file in the Broker Development view:

  1. From the Broker Application Development perspective, click File > New > Message Map.

    Alternatively, in the Broker Development view, right-click the application, library, or Message Broker project that you want to create the message map in and click New > Message Map.

    The New Message Map wizard opens.

  2. On the Specify a new message map file pane, select the type of map that you want to create:
    • If you select Message map called by a message flow, a message map is created that can be accessed from a node. Properties are associated with any input or output messages, and you can select to include message headers and the LocalEnvironment with the message body.
    • If you select Submap called by another map, a message map is created that can be referenced from another message map. This is known as a submap and can contain components of a message body such as global elements and global types. A submap does not contain Properties, message headers, or the LocalEnvironment.
  3. Specify the Container, Map name, and broker Schema for the message map. Click Next.
  4. On the Select map inputs and outputs pane, expand the list of available input objects, and select the input objects that you want to use as inputs to the map. If necessary, use the Filter map input names field to filter what is shown in the list of available objects. Each object in the list is displayed in the form: objectname {namespace}.
  5. Expand the list of available output objects, and select the output objects that you want to use as outputs for the map. If necessary, use the Filter map output names field to filter what is shown in the list of available objects. Each object in the list is displayed in the form: objectname {namespace}.
  6. Optional: If you are creating a Message map called by a message flow node, click Next to specify the Output domain for the message map.
  7. Click Finish to create the message map. The new message map is created, and the Graphical Data Mapping editor opens with the selected sources and targets.
After you have created a message map file, you can edit it. See Editing a graphical data map for more information.
