Before you begin
Before creating a source map, you must first add at least one output card with a valid
type and type tree to the pseudo map. This procedure assumes that you have already added
the input and output requirements.
About this task
After the pseudo map component is defined, you can convert it into a
source map component. Pseudo maps are the only components in the Integration Flow Designer that allow you to create source
maps and add input and output cards.
During source map creation, you can either create a new map source file
(.mms) or select an existing map source file. Within the map
source file, you can either create a new executable map or overwrite an existing
map.
Procedure
-
Right-click the pseudo map icon and select Create Source Map
from the context menu.
The Create Source Map dialog is
displayed.
-
In the Map Source File field, do one of the following:
- If you want to create a new .mms file, accept the default
map source file or enter a new name.
- If you selected an existing .mms click GRAPHIC (browse)
next to the Map Source File field and choose the
file.
-
In the Executable Map Name field, do one of the following:
- If you want to create a new .mms file, either accept the
default executable map name (which is the same name as the pseudo map), or type
a new map name.
- If you selected an existing .mms file and you want to
overwrite one of the existing executable maps, click the browse button next to
the Executable Map Name field to display the list of
executable maps within that file. Select the executable map and click
OK.
- If you selected an existing .mms file and you want to
create a new executable map, type the new name in the Executable Map
Name field.
-
To edit the input or output cards, select the card from the list and click
Edit.
-
To create the .mms file, click
Create.
-
When a message is displayed to confirm the map was created successfully, click
OK.
The pseudo map component is converted to a source map component (the icon
color changes).
