Configure field mappings to define how the event statuses must move from the incoming transformation fields to the downstream trasnformation. Configure field mappings on the Field Mapping tab of the Properties panel.
The Field Mapping tab includes a list of incoming fields and B2B input fields. In B2B input fields, EVENT_ID will be the default field. The STATUS_ NAME field appears when you select Pass the status as a parameter in the B2B Settings tab. You can also include additional entries in the B2B input fields by adding a new field or by selecting from input group on the Output fields tab.
Field Map Options
Defines the method of mapping fields to the B2B transformation. Select one of the following options:
- Manual. Manually link incoming fields to the B2B transformation input fields.
- Automatic. Automatically link fields with the same name. Use when all of the fields that you want to link share the same name. You can't manually link fields with this option.
Automap
Links fields with matching names. Allows you to link matching fields, and then manually configure other field mappings.
You can map fields in the following ways:
- Exact Field Name. Data Integration matches fields of the same name.
- Smart Map. Data Integration matches fields with similar names. For example, if you have an incoming field Cust_Name and a target field Customer_Name, Data Integration automatically links the Cust_Name field with the Customer_Name field.
You can use both Exact Field Name and Smart Map in the same field mapping. For example, use Exact Field Name to match fields with the same name and then use Smart Map to map fields with similar names.
You can undo all automapped field mappings by clicking Automap > Undo Automap. To unmap a single field, select the field to unmap and click Actions > Unmap.
Data Integration highlights newly mapped fields. For example, when you use Exact Field Name, Data Integration highlights the mapped fields. If you then use Smart Map, Data Integration only highlights the fields mapped using Smart Map.

- Field names. You can use technical field names or labels.
Actions menu
Provides additional field mapping options. You can select the following options:
- Map Selected. Links the selected incoming field with the selected B2B input field.
- Unmap Selected. Clears the link for the selected field.
