Configure the input field selection in a Hierarchy Parser transformation to define which field in the upstream transformation to map to the input field in the Hierarchy Parser transformation.
Configure the Input Field Selection tab of the Properties panel.
You can configure the following input field selection options:
Automap
Links fields with matching names.
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 Employee_Name and an hierarchical schema input field Emp_Name, Data Integration automatically links the Employee_Name with the Emp_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.
Options
Controls the fields that appear in the Incoming Fields list. Show all fields, unmapped fields, or mapped fields. Determine how field names appear in the input field list. Use technical field names or labels.
