Adding, Editing, and Deleting Map File Entries

You edit maps independently from import files. To edit entries use the Map File tab.

The Map File tab shown below includes a table of mapped objects.

The Map File tab

You can save and open a map file using the Edit menu. When you save a map file, it is the items on the Map File tab that are saved. The table includes:

The map table can contain support objects that exist in both databases, but this is optional. The table does not contain jobs or process flows.

Maps are independent from import files and can be edited and saved without affecting them. Changes you make on the Map File tab will be immediately reflected on the Import tab. The mappings do not alter the import file, but are applied to it during the import process.

Adding Additional Map Entries

There may be times when you want to add an entry to a map file that was not included in the import file. You might do this when objects do not exist at the time of the import, but will exist the next time you use the map file.

To add an entry:

  1. In the Object Details box, select an object type from the Type list box.
  2. Enter the name of the object as you expect it to appear during an import.
  3. Select the object on the target instance you want to map it to from the Map list box.
  4. Click Add.

    5. Applications Manager adds the entry to the table and to the Import tab.

Updating Entries

To edit an entry:

  1. Highlight the entry in the table that you wish to update.

    2. Applications Manager displays the values for the entry in the Object Details box fields.

  2. Edit the values of the fields and click Update.

    3. Applications Manager updates the entry in the table and on the Import tab.

Deleting Entries

To delete an entry:

  1. Highlight the entry in the table that you wish to delete.

    2. Applications Manager displays the values for the entry in the Object Details box fields.

  2. Click Delete.

    3. Applications Manager removes the entry from the table. If the entry was included in the import file, it will map to its default value on the Import tab. If the entry was not included in the import file, it will be removed from the Import tab.
