Editing message maps
You edit a message map in the Graphical Data Mapping editor.
Before you begin
About this task
In the Graphical Data Mapping editor, you create a map, you define the input and output message models to the map, and the transformations that must be applied to create the output message with values from the input elements. When your input or output message model includes an xsd:any element, you must qualify this extension point by using the Cast function or the Add user defined function prior to defining transforms.
You use the Graphical Data Mapping editor to map (or connect) elements of input objects to elements of output objects. Then, for each mapping, you can create a transform, which performs an action on the data of the input element and puts the result in the output element. The input objects are on the left side in the Graphical Data Mapping editor, and the output objects are on the right.
You can define XPath conditional expressions on a transform. This expression determines whether the transform is applied. Use content assist to set the required parameters of the expression. For more information, see Using content assist (Mapping syntax).
