Step 3. Define Table Properties to Normalize an Array

In this step, you define table properties that normalize an array in a data map.
  1. Open the demo.map2array data map.
  2. On the
    Data Map
    tab in the
    Resource Explorer
    , right-click the RECORD_IN table and click
    Properties
    .
    The
    Table Properties - Definition
    dialog box appears.
  3. In the
    Column Generation
    list, select
    Refresh with missing columns
    .
    Because the record on which the table is based contains new fields, corresponding columns are added to the table.
  4. Click
    OK
    .
  5. On the
    Data Map
    tab in the
    Resource Explorer
    , right-click the RECORD_IN table and click
    Properties
    .
    The
    Table Properties - Definition
    dialog box appears.
  6. In the
    Table Properties - Definition
    dialog box, complete the following actions:
    • In the
      Column Generation
      list, select
      Apply array format changes
      .
      Because the record on which the table is based contains changed fields that are defined as arrays, those changes are reflected in the corresponding columns in the table.
    • In the
      How do you want to handle multiple instances of selected record
      list, select
      New Row
      .
      This action causes PowerExchange to display a new row for each occurrence in the array in a database row test.
  7. Click
    OK
    .

    Table Properties - Definition
