Value Mapping

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

I am not clear about when to use Fix Values function , when to use Value mapping function and when to use look up in mapping?.

Could some one explain with some examples!!

Hi Venkat

Fix value function is used when your source field may contain certain set of values for which you want to produce values at target. for example,

Country(Alphabetic) Country(Numeric code)

Source Target

IND 001

AUS 002

GER 008

For above mapping between source and target you can write fix value function,and in fix value function you specify source value as key and value as target in the table

The main difference between fix values and value mapping is ,

1. Fix value deals with defining mapping table at design time that is in IR whereas for value mapping you need to specify this mapping table in ID.

2. Value mapping can be reused by specifying same party and agency but this is not the case with fix values.

Hope this helps

hi venkat,

Fix values, value mapping are standarad functions available in Graphical mapping.

Fix values:

Fix values table will be created internally in IR, and define values for field mapping. this function generally used for fixed value transfermations during message mapping based on key values.

Value mapping:

Value mapping table wil be created in ID and maintain values in value mapping table for value transfermations during message mapping.

You use the value mapping function to map different representations of an object to each other. You save the mapping rules for different objects in a value mapping table.

Hi Venkat,

Look Up in mapping:

Fix Value Function: You mean to say Constant function taht we have in mapping. In many cases few fields of target structure are mandatory where we must have to specify the values and that can not be mapped to any field of source due to unmatched structure. In that case we use contant for those mandatory fields because withour spefifying some values it would not work.
