Setting Schemas Properties for Maps

After creating a map and adding the source and target schemas, define the Logical Name and Root Element in the Properties View for each schema.

Warning:
When you add a schema to a map, the values for the Logical Name and Root Element properties are automatically defaulted. However, when multiple globally-defined elements exist in a schema, you must select the Root Element for each schema to ensure that the map transforms the correct source documents at runtime.

To define map properties:

  1. In the Unwired Orchestrator Design Perspective, select Window>Show View>Properties from the menu bar to display the Properties View

  2. In the Map Editor, click on the title bar of the source or target schema in your map for which you want to define properties.
    The schema properties for the current selection display in the Properties view.

  3. In the Logical Name field, replace the default name of the schema with a unique, descriptive name.

Note: For maps with multiple source schemas, this name is sometimes referenced in the map link expression.

  1. In the Root Element field, highlight the field and select a root element from the drop-down list to identify the source or target root element for the transformation.

Note: This action breaks any existing map links, so if you have created any links before performing this action, you must re-establish your links.

  1. To save your changes, select File>Save mapName.map from the menu bar.
    When you save your map, the XSLT required to transform the target document is automatically generated.

  2. View the Generated XSLT.

 

The next step in the process is to establish map links.
