You can map source and target elements using certain buttons on the Tool Bar. These buttons are explicated as:

• • One To One Mapping ( Image Removed )
  • Auto Mapper ( Image Removed )
  • Remove All Mappings ( Image Removed )

 One to One Mapping
If the number of leaf elements of the parent element in the source and target schema is same, then you can use the One to One mapping button to Connect Mapping Children to map all the source elements to the corresponding target elements. 

Steps to use One to One mapping Connect Matching Children 

1. Ensure that the source and target schemas are loaded and all their elements are listed under their respective nodes. Additionally, the hierarchy and name of the all elements is the same.

2. Click and drag the parent element of the source

Custom Auto Map

...

1. method.

Custom Auto Map

To define a mapping between the schemas layout when the elements of source and target schema destination layout are at the different hierarchy level (which may include elements at the different parent and child level) and have the different names, you can use the Custom Auto Map feature. This feature enables you to define the mapping between such schemas layouts where elements to be mapped are stored in different parent and child level and in addition elements name are different. 

Scope of a Custom Auto Map

You can also select the scope of a Custom Auto Map at the time of defining and saving it. Scope of a Custom Auto Map is the context within which it is defined and is accessible within or across the user groups. A Custom Auto Map can be defined in any of the following scope: 

• • Global: The Custom Auto Maps defined within Global scope are available within all the mapping activities. Once you create a global Custom Auto Map in a mapping activity, you can use it in all the mapping activities.
  • Group: The Custom Auto Maps defined within Group scope are available only within the specific user group
.

By default, a Custom Auto Map is saved in the Global scope and in the Parameter Panel; it is added and displayed under the folder Custom Auto Map/Global. If you select to save the Custom Auto Map in the Group scope then in the Parameters Panel, it is added and displayed under the folder Custom Auto Map/Group. You can also change the scope of a Custom Auto Map from Group to Global directly from the Parameters Panel by right-clicking the Custom Auto Map and selecting the Move to Global option. However, you cannot change the scope of a Custom Auto Map from Global to Group.

Defining a Custom Auto Map

You can define a Custom Auto Map by both manually providing the names of the source and target elements to be mapped in the Custom Auto Map Dialog screen window or by defining the names of source and target elements to be mapped in a CSV file and then loading the CSV file in the Custom the Custom Auto Map Dialogscreenwindow. Loading a CSV file is useful when you have a large set of source and target elements destination element to be mapped.

Activating a Custom Auto Map

When you define a Custom Auto Map, by default it is in deactivated state. To use a Custom Auto Map, you need to first activate it. Once you have activated the Custom Auto Map, you can use it in your mapping. Note that only activated Custom Auto Maps can be used in a mapping. 
 

Steps to Activate a Custom Auto Map

1. In the Properties Parameters Panel, select the Custom Auto Map which you want to activate to use in a mapping.
