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.
