Editing message maps

When you have created amessage map, you can edit it using the Graphical Data Mapping editor.

Create a message map using the Graphical Data Mapping editor. For information about how to do this, see Creating a message map.

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 do any of the following editing tasks in the Graphical Data Mapping editor:

Optional: Configure the general properties of the message map. For more information, see Setting mapping preferences for your workspace.
You can configure the general properties of a message map to define the Java™, ESQL, and XSD resources that the map can refer to; to define your solution XML namespaces, and and to add any documentation.
Map the input and output elements in any of the following ways:
1. Map elements manually. For more information, see Mapping input to output elements manually.
  Use this method to select the input and output elements, create connections between them, and specify the required transforms.
2. Map elements automatically. For more information, see Mapping input to output elements automatically.
  Use the Auto map wizard to map elements by examining the names of input and output elements to create the mappings.
Redefine xsd:any elements in your message.
1. Use the Cast function to redefine parts of the input or output model in a graphical data map by using a schema model. For more information, see Mapping xs:any on an input or output message. For more information, see Mapping xs:any on an input or output message.
Specify a mapping operation. For more information, see Specifying a mapping operation.
Use content assist. For more information, see Using content assist (Mapping syntax).
Delete objects and transforms. For more information, see Deleting objects and transforms.

Configure the input and output message assembly in a message map by using the Graphical Data Mapping editor. For more information, see Advanced editing in a message map.

Configure mapping transforms in your message map. For more information, see Setting the value of an output element by using a transform or a function.
