Choosing a transform to map an input message to multiple output messages

You can create a map that takes a single input message and produces either multiple instances of an output message model, or one or more instances of different output message models.

About this task

When you create a map in the New Message Map wizard, you can only select a single input and a single output. However, you can use the Add output button in the Graphical Data Mapping editor to add additional outputs.

Note: You can only split an input message into multiple output messages in main maps. This is not valid in submaps.

Procedure

Choose any of the following options to split a message in your map:

To produce multiple instances of a particular output message, you can use the For Each transform or the Join transform.

A typical use of this function is message splitting, in which an input batch message is divided into individual record messages.

When you run the map, a new message is propagated for each iteration of the For Each or Join transform.

For more information, see Splitting an input message into multiple output messages.
To produce one or more instances of different output messages, you can use the If/Else transform.

When you run the map, a new message is propagated for each conditional transform that is applied.
