Generating a Mapping from a Profile

Generating a Mapping from a Profile

You can create a mapping object from a profile. Use the mapping object you create to develop a valid mapping. The mapping you create has a data source based on the profiled object and can contain transformations based on profile rule logic. After you create the mapping, add objects to complete it.
  1. In the
    Object Explorer
    view, find the profile on which to create the mapping.
  2. Right-click the profile name and select
    Generate Mapping
    .
    The
    Generate Mapping
    dialog box displays.
  3. Enter a mapping name. Optionally, enter a description for the mapping.
  4. Confirm the folder location for the mapping.
    By default, the Developer tool creates the mapping in the
    Mappings
    folder in the same project as the profile. Click
    Browse
    to select a different location for the mapping.
  5. Confirm the profile definition that the Developer tool uses to create the mapping. To use another profile, click
    Select Profile
    .
  6. Click
    Finish
    .
    The mapping appears in the
    Object Explorer
    .
Add objects to the mapping to complete it.
