Step 2. Specify Parameter Values

Step 2. Specify Parameter Values

This step displays all parameters for the selected mapping template. Specify the parameter values for each mapping you want to generate. Parameter values are case sensitive unless otherwise noted.
To configure parameter values for each mapping:
  1. If you want to use a mapping template parameter file, click Use Existing to locate the parameter file.
    If the selected parameter file does not include the same parameters as the parameters configured in the mapping template, the following error appears:
    <filename> is not valid for current mapping template.
    The Import Mapping Template Wizard displays the mapping template parameters that you configured in the mapping template.
  2. Click the Add Mapping button to add a mapping and specify values for the mapping template parameters.
  3. Specify a mapping name and description, and enter values for all parameters used in the mapping template. The mapping name is not case sensitive. It cannot exceed 79 characters and cannot be a duplicate of a mapping in the active folder. It cannot include a tab, newline character, or the following special characters:
    , + " \ < > ; / * % ?
  4. Enter values for each of the mapping template parameters. The way you enter values depends on how you configured the mapping template parameters in Mapping Architect for Visio. For example, you set parameters for the source definitions as $Source$, and selected Combo box for the Control field. The Import Mapping Template Wizard allows you to select a source from a list of available sources in the active folder. You can select flat file or relational source definitions.
  5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for each mapping you want to create.
    -or-
    Use the Copy and Paste buttons to replicate mapping configurations. Add and edit the parameter values for each new mapping you want to define.
  6. Click Next.
    Define at least one mapping before you proceed to the next step.
