As part of the installation, sample resource mapping files are provided. Each protocol has its own resource mapping file. In addition, when you use the
migrateResources
or
migrateResourcesAndEndpoint
commands to create resources, the migration tool generates a resource mapping file named
Endpoint_Resource_Mapping_Generated.txt
.
When you use the migration tool to subsequently create endpoints in
B2B Data Exchange
, the migration tool uses the resource mapping file to identify data in the process of populating the endpoint fields.
The resource mapping file links the name of the migrated OEM endpoint with a Generated Resource Name. The Generated Resource Name is the name of the resource that the migration process creates to correspond to the migrated OEM endpoint. The mapping file is created in JSON format and can be modified to customize resource migration.
The Generated Resource Name is also used to populate the Connection variables in the template project associated with a generated endpoint.
The migration tool creates a separate resource mapping file for each protocol. Resource mapping files are created in the directory
<B2B Data Exchange Installation>/dx-tools/mftMigration\<transport type>
. If you choose to customize the resource mapping file, create and save a backup copy before you modify the file.
A sample resource mapping file is provided in the installation for each endpoint protocol. The sample mapping file has the following structure:
