Mapping and Transforming Process Data to Activity Input

You can map data by selecting an item in the Process Data panel and drag it to the schema element you want to map in the Activity Input panel. After you release the mouse button, simple mappings are then displayed in the formula area next to the input element.

If more mapping options are available, the Mapping Wizard dialog is displayed for you to select the mapping you want to perform.

For more complicated scenarios that require multiple steps, you can use the following tools in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks to achieve the mapping you want. You can use buttons and right-click menus available in the Process Data panel and Activity Input panel to invoke these tools.

•

For process data:

—

Coercions ()  for specifying a type for the selected elements that are not of a specific data type.

—

Type Documentation ()  for specifying or viewing documentation for the selected element.

•

For activity input:

—

Mapper Check and Repair ()  for verifying the XSLT template you have created for the expected input and fixing its simple problems.

—

Edit Statement ()  for modifying an XSLT statement for the selected element.

—

XPath Formula Builder ()  an easy-to-use graphical interface for creating an XPath statement for the selected element.

—

Statement (the right-click context menu)  useful shortcuts for creating XSLT statements for the selected element.

See "Mapping and Transforming Data" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Process Design Guide for more detailed introduction about how to use these mapping tools.
