Use the Mapping editor to view and edit mappings between CMP beans and relational database tables. The Mapping editor is the default editor for a map.mapxmi file.
For more information about how to use the Mapping editor to work with maps and schemas, see Updating maps with the Mapping editor.
You can also perform the same actions by selecting from the menu provided from the down arrow icon.
As you select the objects in this pane, the Outline view changes dynamically to synchronize with your current selection.
The Tables pane displays all of the RDB tables in the mapped database. This pane provides the same set of actions, both from the toolbar and from the menu, as the the EJBs pane.
In addition to the three panes described above, the Mapping editor also includes an Outline and Properties view.
Use the Properties view to define transformations, converters, composers, and inherited mapping properties. In fact, some mapping properties are only editable from the Properties view. These include:
The Outline view displays the same information as the Overview pane in the Mapping editor, but in a different format. Additionally, there are messages at the bottom of the workbench that can help you figure out problems or issues by giving you messages with what might be missing or incorrect.
