Input Relational Ports and the Overview View

To transform relational data to hierarchical data, the wizard creates a hierarchical structure that reflects the relational input ports. You can use the Overview View to link relational ports to hierarchical ports.
To view the links between relational input to hierarchal output, use the Overview view. Select Input Mapping. The Ports panel appears in the Overview view.
The following image shows the Ports panel:
Use the Overview view Ports panel to map relational input to hierarchical output. On the left, the Transformation input area shows relational groups and entries. On the right, the Transformation output area shows hierarchical nodes. Drag from the hierarchical nodes to the relational elements to create a link.
To the left of the Ports panel is the Transformation input area that contains the relational elements and groups. To the right is the Transformation output area that contains the hierarchical schema nodes.
You can create ports in the Transformation input area, and link relational elements to the schema nodes. You can also drag the pointer from a node in the schema to an empty field in the Transformation input area to create a port. When you connect a relational port to a schema node, the Developer tool shows a link between them.
