A statement defines how hierarchical input in the source schema is mapped to hierarchical output in the target schema. When you drag a source element to a target element, the hierarchical mapper generates a statement that you can edit.
You can create a statement for each source element, or you can nest statements to make them dependent on other statements. A statement can be a parent to a group of child statements where each time the parent statement runs, the child statements run as well. Child statements appear indented below the parent statement.
You can create a statement by dragging a source element to a target element. The hierarchical mapper identifies the statement type, input, and ouput, and it generates a statement. You can also manually add and configure statements.
