Creating an XMap Overview

In this lesson, you create a Data Processor transformation using the Developer tool. After you create a Data Processor transformation, you add an XMap object. To set up the Developer tool, you connect to the Model repository and create a project and folder to store your work. If the domain includes more than one Data Integration Service, you must also select a default service to preview data and run mappings.

Lesson Concepts

A mapping uses a Data Processor transformation to transform documents from one format to another. The Data Processor transformation processes unstructured and semi-structured file formats in a mapping. When you create a Data Processor transformation, you define components such as the XMap to transform the data. A Data Processor transformation can also contain components that perform other transformation tasks.

After you create a Data Processor transformation, you add an XMap to transform the data. You configure the XMap with input and output schemas and an example source. An XMap uses input and output schemas to define the expected hierarchy of input and output documents. An XMap can transform any input XML document whose elements match the input schema hierarchy into an output document with the hierarchy of the output schema.
