Algorithm used to match synonyms

The way in which synonyms are matched by the Auto Map function, to create mappings between specific inputs and outputs, follows a set of rules.

  1. Fixed value outputs and mapped outputs are excluded in name matching; see point 1 in Mapping by same name or similar name.
  2. The synonym matching is done by using the name of an element, an attribute, or a database column regardless of its type; see point 2 in Mapping by same name or similar name.
  3. The synonym matching of alphanumeric characters is not case-sensitive, and is identical to that used in Automatically mapping input to output elements.
  4. Namespace or namespace prefixes do not participate in synonym matching; see point 3 in Mapping by same name or similar name.
  5. The behavior for the situation when multiple inputs are synonyms of one output, and when multiple outputs are synonyms of one input, is the same as point 4 in Mapping by same name or similar name.
  6. If an input and an output have the same name, they are not considered a match under the option for synonyms. If you require a mapping for same-name inputs and outputs, you must also select the same name option.
  7. In addition to mapping synonyms, you might want to create mappings for some, but not all, same-name inputs and outputs. In this case, you have two options:
    • Clear Create transforms when the names of inputs and outputs are the same, and include the same-name inputs and outputs in the synonym file
    • Select Create transforms when the names of inputs and outputs are the same, and clear the unwanted mappings on the second page of the wizard.
  8. When you select the Map all simple descendants of the selected elements option together with both same name and synonym mapping options, the following steps are taken to match names:
    • Compare the relative path and item name of the selected input and output
    • Compare the item name without relative path
    • Compare the item name without relative path to synonym

    Inputs and outputs matched in a previous step do not participate in later steps.

  9. When you select the Map the immediate children of the selected elements option together with both same name and synonym mapping options, the following steps are taken to match names:
    1. Compare the item name without relative path
    2. Compare the item name without relative path to synonym

    Inputs and outputs matched in a previous step do not participate in later steps.
