Create the mapping file

Before you start:

This topic demonstrates how to create a new mapping file, specify how it will be used, and specify the source and target mappable elements.

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. From the message flow, right-click the node (for example XML_TO_COBOL) and click Open Map. The New Message Map wizard opens at the Create a New Map page.
  3. Accept the default project (for example, AIRLINE_MFP) and name (for example, AIRLINE.msgmap), and click Next. The Select usage for the map page is displayed.
  4. Accept the default usage (this map is called from a message flow node and maps properties) and click Next. The Select a map kind page is displayed.
  5. Accept the default settings (the check boxes that are based on an input message and on records in a database are both selected) and click Next. The Source and target mappables page is displayed.
  6. In the Message Mapping editor Source pane, select the source message (for example, AirlineRequest) from the first message set project (for example, AIRLINE_MSP1).
  7. In the Target pane, select the target message (for example, AIRLINEREQUEST) from the second message set project (for example, AIRLINE_MSP2). Do not select the data source at this stage.
  8. Click Finish.
You have now created the mapping file, defined its usage, and specified the source and target mappable elements.
Now go to Configure the mapping file.
