Defining a Custom Outbound Mapping

After defining the Source and the Destination of the Template, next step is to map the elements of the Source with the Destination.  

1. If you want the Partner to define the mapping while creating the Transaction using this template, then click Partner will define this step check box and click Next to provide the Documentation.

   

    

2. If you want to define the mapping then you can either use an existing mapping (created in the Developer's Studio) or create a new one. Select the mapping from the Select Mapping drop-down list and click Next.

   
   
   Click  to create a new mapping and do the following:

   1.  Provide the name of the mapping.

       

      You can also select the mapping from the Mapping Suggestion(s) drop-down list. This drop-down list will list all the existing mapping for similar data formats. Click Yes, when prompted to overwrite the existing mapping.
      Click Switch to Advanced Mapping to create the mapping using Developer's Studio Data Mapper.

   2. Create the mapping between the elements of the Source and the Destination. Mapping can be done either automatically or manually. 

      To map the elements manually, click a Source element first and then Destination element with which you want to map the Source element. This maps the elements and is shown with a green dot.

      

      Click  to map the Source and Destination elements automatically. You can map the elements automatically if the Source and Destination element names and hierarchy are exactly the same.

      You can perform the mapping operations while mapping the elements. Click here to view the list of available Mapping Operations.

       

   3. Click Next to exit from the mapping.
      
      

3. Provide the Documentation URL. This URL will have all the information related to the Template.

   
   

    

4. Click Save & Exit to save the Template.
