Using Web Mapper
Web Mapper is a visual data-mapping tool used for mapping elements in advanced data integration projects. This tool allows you to specify source and target layouts and to map data fields from source layout to target layout.
You can use web mapper to map source layout elements to target layout elements. You can map one source layout element to a target layout element directly by drag and drop method. Additionally, web mapper also offers certain mapping functions using which you can map source and target layout elements. Furthermore, the Web Mapper supports multiple source and target layouts. This implies that you can select more than one layout at a time, both at the source and the target end. This facilitates mapping of multiple source and target layout elements.
