Identify Mappings

A core principle of FTM is that the implementation of the business process operates with the Internal Canonical format (ISF) rather than the external formats. Having identified the message and interface types, it is easy to identify the mappings that are needed for an FTM implementation. A mapping is needed for each interface in Message Format Support Required; inbound where FTM is the target system, and outbound where FTM is the source system.
