The Mapping Definition window shows the current mapping between attributes of adjacent IN-structures and OUT-structures.
To view current mappings:
Right-click the connecting link, and select Mapping.
In the Mapping Definition window:
Select Display structure to view all attributes of the connected port and their current mappings.
Select Display structure and values to view the fields as well as the values of the current record. This view shows the current content of the port connecting to the link. If the port contains no data, only the port structure is shown in this window. You can populate data in a port by stepping through your project until you reach the port.
To create mappings, select one of these predefined mapping sequences from the Mapping menu:
Create mapping by Order – sequentially maps the port attributes of the IN- structures and OUT- structures. If the number of attributes is different on both sides, some of the port attributes are not mapped.
Create mapping by Name – maps port attributes of the IN- structures and OUT- structures according to their names.
Create mapping by Name Case Sensitive – maps the port attributes of the IN- structures and OUT- structures according to their case sensitive names.
Create mapping by Prefix – maps the port attributes of the IN- and OUT- structures by name, ignoring the specified prefixes.
Create mapping by Best Match – maps the port attributes of the IN- and OUT- structures that sound alike.
To manually create a single mapping, select a connection point and drag it to the connection point of a port attribute.
To change a current mapping, select the mapping line at the connection point and drag it to an unmapped port attribute.
To delete a single mapping, right-click the mapping, and select Delete.
To delete all mappings of a link, select Remove All from the Mapping menu.
By default, the Mapping Definition window displays all the port attributes of the IN- structures and OUT- structures. To view only the mapped attributes, click the Display only mapped attributes icon on the toolbar.
