Add Map Components

Edit online

About this task

If you did not use a DDF or IFD file or schema, you must manually add the map components of the data format.

Note: While you are working on the map, it is a good practice to save the map often.

Procedure

  1. In the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor, right-click the map component that precedes what you want to add and select either:
    • Create Sub – Makes the new component subordinate to the selected map component
    • Insert – Puts the component at the same level as the selected map component
  2. When you import a map from Sterling Gentran:Server®For Microsoft Windows (or from Sterling Gentran:Server For UNIX, if the maps were created using the MAPPER.EXE), you must change the Map Function to Sterling B2B Integrator.
  3. In the map component properties dialog box, name the component. You can specify the other properties now or later.
  4. Click OK to save changes and close the dialog box.
