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.
