Running the mapping editor
The mapping editor tool is used to align two data models or to map the logical and physical view of a database. It comprises a mapping tree that juxtaposes the views of two models.
You can run the mapping editor from:
• The HOPEX Main Menu
• A data model
• A data package
• A database
To run the mapping editor from the Main Menu:
1. Select Main Menu >Mapping Editor.
A dialog box appears:
2. Leave the Create Mapping Tree default option selected and click Next.
3. Indicate the name of the new mapping tree.
4. In the Nature list box, select the nature of the tree.
5. In the Left Object and Right Object frames, from the object types concerned, select the models you wish to align.
6. Click OK.
The editor displays the mapping tree juxtaposing the two models.
When the mapping tree has been created, you can subsequently find it in the mapping editor.
