Step 1. Create a Repeating Group Statement

You can create a mapping statement by dragging a node from the input schema to a node in the output schema. The XMap editor adds the mapping statement to the mapping statement grid.

To open the XMap editor, in the

Overview

view, click the Patient_Claim
XMap link.

The XMap editor appears and shows the input and output schemas. In the following image, the XMap editor displays the input schema on the left, and the output schema on the right:

"An XMap uses mapping statements to define how to transform an input schema element to an output schema element. To create a mapping statement, you can drag from an input schema node in the XMap editor to a node in the output schema. "

Drag the mouse from the Doctor
input schema node to the Claims
output schema node.

The following image shows how the XMap links the XML input to the XML output:

"When you drag from an input schema node in the XMap editor to a node in the output schema, you create a link. When you create links, these are mapping statements. The XMap editor shows the mapping statement in the grid. The XMap editor automatically fills in all the fields for the mapping statement. You can edit the fields to change the logic."

Both schema nodes are repeating nodes, so the XMap editor creates a Repeating Group statement named Doctor to Claims
in the grid. Statements under the Repeating Group statement are iterated for each instance of input data.

Drag the mouse from the Specialty
input node under the Doctor
input node to the Specialization
output schema node.

There is a Specialty
input node under the Doctor
input node, and a Speciality
input node under the Patient
input node. We refer to the first node in this lesson.

After you complete this step, the XMap editor creates a Map statement named Specialty to Claims/@Specialization
in the grid. This statement passes the name of the medical field of specialization to the output XML.

Drag the mouse from the Name
input schema node to the Name
output schema node.

The XMap editor creates a Map statement named Name to Name
in the grid.

This statement passes the name of the doctor to the output XML.

Drag the mouse from the Email
input schema node to the Email
output schema node.

The XMap editor creates a Map statement named Email to Email
in the grid. This statement passes the customer phone number to the output XML.

The following image shows how the XMap links the XML input elements to the XML output in Map statements:
