Generating business object or XSLT maps

You use Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) and business object maps to manipulate, evaluate, and format data.
An XML map transforms a source XML document into a target XML document. The map editor takes the source XML documents that are to be transformed, and generates a transformation file that performs the actual transformations at run time. The map editor generates a map in one of the following formats:
  • XSLT version 1.0
  • XSLT version 2.0
  • business object map

When you target a business object map to be created, the business object map is generated at build time in the IBM® Integration Designer toolkit. The business object map is located in the Module|Library|gen folder and registered in serviceDeploy.

Also, when the XML map editor is set to generate a business object map, the map editor only displays transformations that are valid in the business object map domain. This is a subset of what is supported when the XML map editor is set to generate XSLT 1.0 or XSLT 2.0.
