Basic Mapping

The schemas for the mediation operation and the target operation are similar, except that the mediation operation has an element named nearAddress and the corresponding element in the target operation is named landmark. For all other elements, you can drag and drop the data component in the mediation operation to the corresponding data component in the target operation, and the appropriate XPath expression is placed in the XPath field.

For the nearAddress and landmark elements, you might need to manipulate the data to transform it to the expected format.

A basic mapping example

In this example, the nearAddress element contains the name of the location separated by a comma, followed by the actual address. The landmark element is expecting only the name of the location. To make the data match the target operation’s expectations, you need to take the substring of the nearAddress element up to the comma that separates the name of the location from the address.
