6.3.2 Procedure for defining changed message formats

If the message format changes, data transformation must be redefined. You can use a data transformation definition created earlier to redefine data transformation. A new definition is not required.

Note
If the message format changes when data transformation is being edited, once the Data Transformation Definition screen closes, reopen the Data Transformation Definition screen. If a new Data Transformation Definition screen appears when the Data Transformation Definition screen being edited is open, some of the changes in the message format might not be reflected.

The procedure for changing the message format and redefining data transformation is as follows:

  1. Open the Data Transformation Definition screen from the data transformation activity of the Adapter Definition screen or the Business Process Definition screen.
    Before the Data Transformation Definition screen appears, a dialog box appears to confirm whether to reflect the changed message format. Click OK to open the next window.
    • If the root element is changed or deleted
      Before the Data Transformation Definition screen appears, the Choose root element dialog box appears. Choose a root element in the Choose root element dialog box and click OK to open the Data Transformation Definition screen. For the Choose root element dialog box, see Cosminexus Service Platform Reference.
    • If the root element is not to be changed or deleted
      The Data Transformation Definition screen appears.
    The displayed Data Transformation Definition screen reflects the changed message format#.
  2. Map as and when required.
    For details about mapping, see 6.4 Mapping.
  3. Right click the applicable location of the data transformation-source schema tree viewer, mapping viewer or data transformation-destination schema tree viewer of the Data Transformation Definition screen and choose Validate.
    Validation is executed.

The Data Transformation Definition screen that copied mapped contents before changing the message format appears. Message formats before and after changes are compared and only the item with top priority similarity is copied. For copying mapping definitions and determining similarities, see 6.8 Copying Mapping Definitions.
