Creating an Input Map with a Cross-repository Relationship

At times, there is a need to capture data spread across data sources into multiple logically related repositories. To achieve this purpose, Input Maps of one repository can be related to Input Maps of other repositories to distribute data across related repositories.

To relate input maps of any two repositories, it is essential that there exists a predefined relationship between these repositories. Related input maps must be based on same or subset of data sources selected and can be used or associated with other input maps.

Procedure

  1. Right click on Repository name from the Input Map tree section on which you want to include related repository and click on Add Input Map for Relationship.

    


  2. Select relationship from the sub menu. A new related Input Map will be added in the Input Map tree.
  3. Double click the related Input Map, it will open in an another editor.
  4. You can create a related Input map using an existing input map or create new input map to link with the parent input map.
  5. If you have existing input maps in the related repository, select the Use Existing Input Map option.When you select the Use Existing Input Map option, the drop-down list displays the input maps available in the related repository. Select Create New Input Map option to create a new input map for the related repository.
