Creating a submap by using the Submap transform

Complete the following steps to create a submap:

1. Create a connection between global input and output elements in a message map, and then select the Submap transform on the connection: For example:
   
2. In the Properties view of the Submap transform, create a submap to use an existing submap:
   • To create a submap, click New. The New Message Map wizard opens.
   • Use an existing submap. Click Browse. A dialogue box will display the submaps that are available. Then, select a submap and click OK.
3. On the Specify a new message map file pane, the type of map that you want to create is selected as Submap called by another map. This is a message map that can be referenced from another message map. This is known as a submap and can contain components of a message body such as global elements and global types. A submap does not contain Properties, message headers, or the local environment tree. Click Next.
4. On the Select map inputs and outputs pane, the input and output objects of the submap have been pre-selected.
5. Click Finish. The new submap is displayed in the Graphical Data Mapping editor, and you can edit it in the same way that you would edit any graphical data map. For information about how to edit maps, see Editing message maps.
