Using Autolink and Link
The Autolink function automatically creates links between input and output fields that have the same name or which contain logically equivalent business data. This functionality can be used regardless of which format you have selected for the input and output sides of your map. You can choose to link by either Field Name or Business Name.
Note: To increase the likelihood that the links in
your maps are valid, in the Preferences dialog box Confirmations tab,
select the link objects at different levels and link objects with
different maximum usages confirmations.
Just like with the Link function, the link between two map components is represented visually with a connecting line.
Note: An erroneous message is displayed when you deactivate
a group that contains linked fields in the Sterling B2B Integrator
Map Editor.
The message displayed is: “The object is part of one or more links.
Deleting the object will remove the links. Do you want to continue?”
This message should read “The object is part of one or more links.
Deactivating the object will remove the links...” If you receive this
message when deactivating a linked map component, be assured that
the group object is not deleted, and you should ignore the erroneous
message.
