You can save the contents mapped in the Data Transformation Definition screen as mapping definitions. You can copy and use the saved mapping definitions when creating other data transformation definitions.
The following figure shows copying of mapping definitions.
Figure 6-41 Copying of mapping definitions
Mapping definitions are copied for each piece of mapping information. Mapping information refers to a transformation-destination node, a transformation-source node that can be obtained by tracing the mapping lines from the transformation-destination node, and functions and mapping lines.
You can copy mapping definitions even if the schema type used when creating a mapping definition file for the copy source (XSD file or FDX file) differs from the schema type of the copy destination.
There are two types of mapping definition copying method: structure matching copy mapping, and element name matching copy mapping. Structure matching copy mapping can be used when the element names and schema structures of the copy source and destination match. Therefore, if the node to which mapping definitions are to be copied already has mapping lines connected, mapping definitions cannot be copied. Element name matching copy mapping can be used when the element names of the copy source and destination are similar. Therefore, unlike structure matching copy mapping, mapping definitions can be copied even if the schema structures of the copy source and destination are different. For these copying methods, see 6.8.4 Copying mapping definitions.
