Customizing mapping rules

Rational® Synergy ships with a factory default set of mapping rules. These rules are defined in a model attribute named mapping_rules.

The factory default rules include a directive INCLUDE_AUTO_RULES. This directive includes rules that are generated from the active type definitions in the database. When you define a new type definition that includes matching patterns or suffixes, these are automatically generated from type definitions in the mapping rules.

To customize mapping rules for work area conflict detection, or for type selection when creating an object without an explicit type, you must edit the mapping_rules setting.

When using the ccm migrate command, you can also specify a file containing your own set of custom mapping rules. These rules files are text files that you can create with any editor. When specified, your custom rules are used instead of the factory default mapping rules.
