Map the message properties

Before you start:

This topic demonstrates how to map the message set, message type and message format properties.

  1. From the Message Mapping editor Spreadsheet pane, expand the $db:select entry and 'for' elements by clicking the addition (+) symbols to reveal the message properties.
  2. Right-click $target and click Populate.
  3. Right-click Properties and click Populate.
  4. From the Spreadsheet pane, click the value field of the message set, message type, and message format properties and modify each value. Use quotation marks because the values are string literals (without quotation marks, the values will be interpreted as XPath locations).
  5. From the Target pane, open the $target tree by clicking the addition (+) symbol, then open the properties within the $target tree. In the Target pane, an orange arrow is displayed next to the message set, message type and message format elements, indicating that their properties have been set.
  6. From the Message Mapping editor Source pane, expand the properties for the $source tree, and for each remaining property, map the source element to its corresponding target element by dragging from source to target. The blue arrows in the Message Mapping editor Source pane indicate that the sources elements have been mapped to targets elements.
  7. Close the Properties tags in the source and target trees by clicking the subtraction (-) symbols, then expand the full trees of the source (for example, $source/AirlineRequest) and the target (for example, $target/AIRLINEREQUEST).
  8. Save the map by clicking File > Save.
You have now mapped message set, message type and message format properties.
Now go to Add the XPath concatenate function.
