Field mapping

Field mapping

Configure the field mapping in a Hierarchy Builder transformation to define which relational elements link to schema elements to provide the hierarchical output. Configure the field mapping on the
Field Mapping
tab of the
Properties
panel. If you have more than one group, use the field mapping editor to define primary and foreign keys. You also use the field mapping editor to link relational fields to schema elements.
The following image shows the field mapping editor.
To the left, the field mapping editor shows the relational fields. To the right, the editor shows the schema elements. In this example, the transformation has two relational groups so you must designate primary and foreign keys. In this example, the
NSId
field is a primary key in the
NewSource
group, and the
NSLeadId
field is the foreign key that links to the
NewSource1
group. The
NS1Id
field is a primary key in the
NewSource1
group.
A primary key is signified by the primary key icon in the
Key
column. A foreign key is signified by the foreign key icon.
To link a relational field to schema element, drag the relational element to the schema element. The
Mapped Field
column shows the relational field to which the schema element is mapped.
If the input relational fields constitute just one group, the data will be treated as denormalized input and there is no need to define primary or foreign keys.
