Configure the Positive Number Format for a Specific Map Component

About this task

Within Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor you can override the setting on the Preferences dialog box (Standard Formats tab) and customer_overrides.properties file setting, and configure the use of the plus sign for positive number format for a specific field, as follows:

Procedure

  1. From the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor, right-click the map component and select Properties to access the appropriate Properties dialog box.
  2. Click the Validation tab.
  3. Select the appropriate option, as follows:
    • Use properties file setting—specifies that the rule or rules configured in the customer_overrides.properties file should be followed for this map component (this is the default)
    • Don't allow/generate ‘+' prefix—specifies that regardless of whether the Preference dialog box (Standard Formats tab) or the customer_overrides.properties file contains a rule or rules to allow the “+” prefix, the plus sign will not be allowed for this map component
    • Allow/generate ‘+' prefix—specifies that regardless of whether the Preference dialog box (Standard Formats tab) or the customer_overrides.properties file indicates that the “+” prefix is not allowed in maps, the rule or rules will be overridden and the plus sign will be allowed to be used and generated for this map component
      Note: By default, the Positive Number Format section will display the global option that you configured on the Standard Formats tab of the Preferences dialog (see Field-level Validation Configuration), and you can change the parameter to a setting that will only affect the map component you are currently accessing (when the data-type of the map component is Number).
  4. Click OK to save changes.
