Name Matching Options

To specify the options that the Auto Map uses to match the object names on the source with the object names on the target, configure the Name Matching Options.

Configure the Name Matching Options in the Auto Map preferences in the Map Designer.

Option
Definition
Case sensitive
The Auto Map operation compares those source and target object names with the same case.
Alphanumeric characters (letters and digits only)
The Auto Map operation ignores the nonalphanumeric characters when it compares the source and target object names.
Example:
  • Name Matching Options: The Alphanumeric characters (letters and digits only) option for matching name is selected.
  • Mapping Criteria: The Create rules when the names of the sources and targets match mapping criterion is selected.
  • Source: abc_dEf
  • Target: abcdEf
  • Operation: The Auto Map compare operation ignores the underscore symbol that is in the source object name. It compares the resulting abcdEf characters from the source object name with the abcdEf characters of the target object name.
  • Result: There is a 100% match between the resulting abcdEf characters from the source object name and the abcdEf characters of the target object name.
