Referencing message maps in your solution

You can reference a message map and a submap during the development phase. You can also reference a message map dynamically at runtime.

About this task

Message maps and submaps are resources that can be used more than once in your solutions. For example, a message map can be used by one or more Mapping nodes in a message flow.

Choose any of the following options to reference a message map or a submap in your solution:

• Reference a message map: You can reference a message map by configuring the Mapping routine property in a Mapping node. For more information, see Referencing an existing message map from a Mapping node.
• Dynamically reference a message map at runtime: You can define a message map dynamically at runtime by setting the local environment MappingRoutine element in your message flow before the message reaches the Mapping node where the message map needs to be used. For more information, see Dynamically selecting a message map.
• Reference a submap: You can call a submap from a graphical data map in the Graphical Data Mapping editor by using the Submap transform. For more information, see Calling a submap.
