Create an XML Map from a Financial Services Standard

Edit online

About this task

When you create a map, for both the input and output sides, you choose whether you want to use a preloaded standard, an existing file format, or wants to create a new file format for that side of the map (including selecting from standards that you have previously downloaded to the standards database such as the Financial Services XML Standards).

Note: To create a map using any of these standards you must have purchased the appropriate license from IBM® and downloaded the Financial Services XML standards bundle (from the Deployment > Standards menu) to the same machine where the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor is installed. For a complete list of the Financial Services XML standards consult Customer Support.

To create a map using a Financial Services XML standard (such as SWIFTNet Funds, SWIFTNet Trade Services, SWIFTNet Exceptions and Investigations, or SWIFTNet Cash Reporting):

Note: For a complete list of the preloaded standards consult the New Map Wizard.

Procedure

  1. From the File menu, select New.
  2. In the New Map Wizard, complete the questions on the first screen.
    Note: To use XML schemas, the map type must beSterling B2B Integratorr.
  3. If you are translating from a Financial Services XML standard, from the Create a new data format using this standard list, select one of the Financial Services XML standards and click Messages. If you are translating from another format, select that format and continue to the next screen.
  4. Complete the Map Wizard by selecting the version of the standard, the desired message, the maximum length of the data elements, and whether to build codelists for enumerated attributes, and click Next.

    The default for the Build code lists for enumerated attributes check box is cleared because using code lists may be redundant and thus your map is smaller and more efficient without them.

  5. Click Next.
  6. If you chose to import an XML schema, do not modify any of the subelements selected in the display. This list is included for your information only. Click Next.
    Note: For the OFX and IFX standards only, all elements except the root are not initially selected. The list includes all messages for the messages category selected. You must select the messages you want to use in the map.
  7. Click Finish.

If you are translating to a Financial Services XML standard, on the Output screen (from the Create a new data format using this standard list), select one of the Financial Services XML standards and click Messages. If you are translating from another format, select that format and continue to the next screen.
  9. Complete the Map Wizard by selecting the version of the standard, the desired message, the maximum length of the data elements, and whether to build codelists for enumerated attributes, and click Next.

    The default for the Build code lists for enumerated attributes check box is cleared because using code lists may be redundant and thus your map is smaller and more efficient without them.
