Populating a message map

You can use the Populate wizard to add elements from the Target pane to the Spreadsheet pane. The Populate wizard creates child structures for the selected parent structure. When you add a message target to a message map, $target in the Spreadsheet pane is populated by default with Properties and the message body root. The Properties fields MessageSet, MessageType and MessageFormat, are added together with their default values. Other message elements and their children can be added to the Spreadsheet pane without creating mappings by using the Populate wizard. The following steps show how to populate the Spreadsheet pane with other message elements using the Populate wizard:

Using the Populate wizard

  1. Right-click a parent element in the Spreadsheet pane and click Populate. The Populate wizard is displayed.
  2. Select the items you wish to create mappings for. Items required in the target message are selected by default. The selected items are added to the Spreadsheet pane.
  3. Repeat Populate to add further child elements to the Spreadsheet pane.
If any target elements are missing warning messages are displayed in the Message Mapping Editor. These warning messages indicate the name and expected position of the missing elements. You can used the Populate wizard to add the missing elements.

You can also use the Populate wizard to add target elements to the Spreadsheet pane when there are existing mappings. Any existing mappings are not altered by the wizard.

If the target map is a submap the Spreadsheet pane is populated by default with the selected element or attribute root. You can use the Populate wizard in the submap to add any child elements to the Spreadsheet pane in the same way.
