Mapping Editor wizard

Use the Mapping Editor wizard to create a new mapping model.

Create Mapping page

Use this page to select the project where you want to create the mapping model.

Enter or select the parent folder
Type the name of the project where you want to create the mapping model. You can map between only .dbm files and .xsd files that are in the same project. You also can select the project from the tree view.
File name
Type a name for the mapping model. The file extension must be .msl.

Specify the Mapping Source page

Use this page to select the .dbm files that contain the schemas that you want to use as the mapping source.

Mapping source files
Select one or more .dbm files as sources for the new mapping model. Click Add to open the Select a Mapping Source window. This window lists all of the .dbm files in the project where you are creating the new mapping model. To remove a file, highlight the file and click the Remove push button.
Mapping source schemas
Select the schemas that you want to use as sources for the new mapping model. When you select a schema, the check box for the database for that schema is also selected. If you select all of the available schemas for a database, the background color of the check box is white. If you select only some of the available schemas, then the background color of the check box is gray. If you deselect a schema or database, then all of the objects associated with that schema or database will also be deselected.

Specify the Mapping Target page

Use this page to select one .dbm file or .xsd file and specify the schemas to use as targets for the new mapping model.

Mapping target file
Select one .dbm file or .xsd file as the target for the new mapping model. Click Browse to open the Select a Mapping Target window. This window lists all of the .dbm files and .xsd files in the project where you are creating the new mapping model.
Mapping target schemas
Select the schemas that you want to use as targets for the new mapping model. When you select a schema, the check box for the database for that schema is also selected. If you select all of the available schemas for a file, the background color of the check box is white. If you select only some of the schemas, then the background color of the check box is gray. If you deselect a schema or database, then all of the objects associated with that schema or database will also be deselected.
