Choosing Sources for the Mappings

Choosing Sources for the Mappings

Use the following sources with a mapping wizard:
  • Flat file
  • Relational
  • Application
  • Shortcut to a flat file, relational, or Application sources
You cannot use COBOL or XML sources with the mapping wizards.
When you select a source for a mapping, the mapping wizards display all available sources by source name. The Designer can optionally display sources and target definitions by business name, rather than source and target name. Even when this option is selected, mapping wizards display sources by source name.
The Mapping Wizard cannot import a source when a column name uses an SQL keyword. When the Mapping Wizard encounters an SQL keyword used as a column name, it prompts you to choose another source. If you want to use a source with a column using an SQL keyword, create the mapping in the Mapping Designer.
The mapping wizards also complete the following based on the selected source:
  • Use the source name to name the source qualifier as follows: SQ_
    SourceName
    for file or relational sources, or ASQ_
    SourceName
    for Application sources.
  • Create port names based on source column names.
