Rational ProjectConsole Designer Help

To create a source-to-target mapping:

  1. On the Designer File menu, point to New and then click Mapping, or, on the Designer toolbar, click .
  2. In the New Mapping window, on the General page, in the Name field, type a unique, descriptive name for the mapping.
  3. (Optional) In the Description field, you can type a description of the mapping.
  4. To select a target table and a source template, and to define a mapping for user-defined target fields, click the Mappings tab.
  5. From the Target Table list, select the target table for this mapping.
  6. From the Source Template list, select the source template for this mapping.
  7. To define a mapping for each user-defined target field, click in the Source Field column for the target field and select a source field from the list.
    Note: You cannot map the predefined target fields

    Repeat this step for all the fields you want to map.

    If the data for the target field does not come from the source or if it does not always have a value in the source, you can specify a default value for the target field

  8. To specify a default value for a target field, click in the Default Value column next to the target field, and then type a default value.
    Note: You are not required to map all fields.
  9. On the Designer File menu, click Save, or, on the Designer toolbar, click .
  10. Close the Mapping window.
