Map

Value Map Target Fields from Multiple Source Systems

Map allows value mapping for Target fields that will contain data from multiple Source systems, such as Oracle, JDE, or some other legacy system. The values from these Source system fields will be value mapped to the Target field on the Value Mapping (Legacy to Target) page. Refer to Perform Value Mapping for more information. 

Define the Source table and the Source fields from the legacy systems to add them to the check table that allows them to be value mapped.

NOTE: The table and field must exist in a Source database that was added to a Source in the current context.

To define fields in Map:

  1. Click Map in the Context bar.
  2. Click the Value Mapping icon on the Process Area Launch page.
  3. Click the Mappings icon for a check table.
  4. Click the check table name link in the LOOKUP column on the Field Mappings page next to a mapping with Xref or RuleXref action.
  5. Click the Sources icon.

  6. Click the Source Config icon for a Source and check table combination.

  7. Click the Tables icon for a Source.

  8. Click Add.

  9. Enter the table name that stores the field in the SOURCE TABLE field.

    NOTE: This table must exist in the Source data source that was assigned to Wave and Process Area in Console on the Vertical View of the Wave : Process Areas page.

  10. Enter the field name in the SOURCE FIELD field.

    NOTE: This field must exist in the SOURCE TABLE. 

  11. Select an option from the STATUS list box.

    NOTE: If this field is to be value mapped to a Target field, select Active for value mapping.

  12. Enter the table name that contains the description fields for the SOURCE FIELD in the LEGACY DESCRIPTION TABLE field.
  13. Enter the field name that contains the description of the SOURCE FIELD in the LEGACY DESCRIPTION field.
  14. Click Save.
  15. Click the Refresh icon for the Check Table to refresh the Source legacy values so that they can be value mapped.
  16. Click the Value Mappings icon for the field to value map these newly added Source fields to Target fields.

NOTE: After defining the field, click the View Values icon to view all of the values stored in this field that must be value mapped and the number of records that store each value in the field. The Legacy Value (Source Table Fields) page that displays also lists the number of records that contain no data for this field.

NOTE: If the remaining values in the Source field should not be mapped to the Target field click Remove Values. This feature removes all values in the Source field (stored in the Source data source) that have not yet been value mapped to a Target table.
