Calculated Source Elements Dialog

The selection elements in the Mapping editor are used to determine the elements that are actually mapped during mapping.

Purpose

In the Selection elements area on the left-hand side of the Mapping editor, you specify the model elements that you want to map in your database model.

However, these are not necessarily elements that are also actually mapped. Elements may not be taken into consideration e.g. due to their mapping type, or may contain subelements that are also added to the mapping so that the mapping is consistent in the target.

The Calculated Source Elements dialog contains elements that are actually mapped upon mapping.

These elements can also be added to the selection of source elements or result region.

Opening the Dialog

Prerequisites

You are in the Mapping editor.

You have added model elements as source elements to the left-hand Selection elements area of the editor.

Context

You want to calculate the elements that would actually be mapped due to the current source elements.

How to proceed

Select Mapping>Map Model>Determine Source Elements.

A progress bar gives you information about the source element calculation.

The Calculated Source Elements dialog appears.

The elements that would be taken into consideration upon mapping are shown in a list along with their type and path.

Adding Elements to the Selection or Result Region

Prerequisites

You are in the Calculated Source Elements dialog.

Context

You want to add one or more elements from the list for the selection of source elements to the Mapping editor or Result Region tool window.

How to proceed

Select the elements from the list of calculated source elements that you want to adopt in the Selection elements area or in the Result Region tool window.
If you want to include the selected elements in the selection, click on Add to Selection.

The dialog is closed and the added elements appear as source elements in the Mapping editor.
If you want to include the selected elements in the Result Region, click on Add to Result Region.

The dialog is closed and the added elements appear as source elements in the Result Region tool window.
