For subscriptions with an automatic mapping, manually map fields in topic tables to fields in target tables.
The
Field Mapping
page of the subscription wizard shows the tables in the topic that is associated with the subscription, and the mapping between topic tables and target tables. When you click the edit field mapping icon next to a table, the
Edit Field Mapping
dialog box opens.
For subscriptions with a relational database or a flat file target, a topic table must be mapped to a target table before you can edit the field mapping for the table.
The published data includes the publication ID and the publication time stamp, in the DIH_PUBLICATION_INSTANCE_ID and DIH_PUBLICATION_INSTANCE_DATE fields. The resolution of the time stamp is seconds. By default, those fields are not mapped. If you map these fields, verify that the target structure includes these fields. The target application can use these fields to differentiate between multiple publication instances and to sort publications by date.
Subscribers that consume the publication time stamp into an Oracle database: By default, Oracle clients display the event date and do not display the time. To display the complete time stamp, configure the client display options.
