Mapping Template Rules Overview

When you create a link between mapping objects, create a set of rules to indicate the movement of data from one mapping object to the next. Every link in a mapping template must have an associated rule set. A rule set can have one or more rules.

The following table describes the rules that you can create in the mapping template:

Rule Name	Description
All Ports	Links all the ports in a mapping object to all the ports in another mapping object.
Datatype	Links all the ports of the selected datatype in a mapping object to all ports of the same datatype in another mapping object.
Dictionary	Links specified starting and ending ports based on the contents of a referenced text file.
Foreign Key	Links all foreign key ports in a mapping object to foreign key ports with the same names in another mapping object.
Named Port	Links all ports with the specified names in a mapping object to ports with the specified name in another mapping object.
Parameter	Replaces the rules on a link with the rules included in the parameter you specify.
Pattern	Links all ports in a mapping object with names that match the specified starting port pattern to all ports in another mapping object with names that match the specified ending port pattern.
Primary Key	Links the primary key port in a mapping object to the primary key port with the same name in another mapping object.
Group Name	Links ports from one group to ports in a different group based on the specfied rules.
