Transforming data using a business object map
When you are integrating services, you almost always need to transform
the data into a format that the receiving service can process. You can use
the business object map editor to create a business object map between input
and output business objects. Business object maps can be used in business
processes, mediation flows and can be inserted between components in a module.

A variable represents specific data or a value, and acts as a placeholder for that value. Unlike a constant value, which is fixed and unchanging, a variable can be repeatedly assigned different values. You assign a value to a variable and the variable maintains the value until you later assign a new value. Because of this flexibility, it is necessary for you to declare variables before you use them. Variables can be a source or target of a transform.Substitution groups Mapping substitutable elements Transform types in the business object map editor Automatic mapping IBM Integration Designer supports the automatic mapping of similar fields.Reverse maps SimpleContent support in the business object map editor Sorting and filtering in a business object map Mapping with XSD wildcards Creating maps using the show change and event summaries Troubleshooting the business object map Writing Java code in the Custom, Custom Assign, and Custom Callout transforms Considerations when using the business object map editor Limitations of the business object map editor
