NOTE: Fields on this page that are not described in the table below are not used in the product.

Field

Description

Field Options

Key Prefix

Displays the prefix added to a Source key field during the Transform automation process. These key fields are used to track legacy Source keys during the migration process to the new key value (often generated by the new ERP system). The default is zLegacy.

Xref Prefix

Displays the prefix added to a cross reference field during the Transform automation process. When using a cross reference rule (on the Field Mappings page in Map by selecting Xref or RuleXref in the ACTION list box) that requires additional or multiple rules to determine a value, Map creates a zField and a zLegacy field on the source table used in Transform. The zLegacy is used to complete client data conversions and the zField is used to complete the value mapping Source to Target check table values. The default is zLegacy.

Xref Source Field Default Status

Displays the default value mapping status for a cross reference Source field for value mapping. When the a field mapping’s Action is set to Xref , the Source field on the Value Mapping page will default to this selection

Auto Set Not Used For Multiple Sources

Displays the option that controls how Map updates the ACTION column for Add Row and Update Row source mappings when the action has not been set (i.e., the ACTION column is blank). The ACTION column displays on the Field Mappings page in Map.

Options include:

  • None - The values in the ACTION column for the Add Row and Update Row Sources are not changed in other Sources.
  • Primary and Secondary Source - When a mapping is saved in a Add Row and Update Row Source, Map updates the ACTION column for actions that are not set with NotUsed.
  • Secondary Source only - When a mapping is saved for an Update Row, the ACTION column for all other Update Row source mappings is set to NotUsed. In this case, if the Add Row source does not have an ACTION set, Map does not update that mapping. The Add Row source’s action remains unchanged.

Auto Load Mapping History

If checked, when mapping is deleted and added back the mapping is automatically restored to the latest mapping from history.

NOTE: Enabling this option can affect performance and add overhead to the sync process.

If unchecked, when mapping is deleted and added back, the user must use the Restore option on the Field Mapping History page to restore the mapping. Refer to Restore Current Field Mapping From History for more information.

Build Xref Target Rules

If unchecked, Map builds cross reference rules at the source level for those field mappings with an action of Xref or RuleXref.

If checked, Map builds cross reference rules at the target level for those field mappings with an action of Xref or RuleXref.  By default, the check box is unchecked.

Build Remediation Rule Reports

If checked, Map builds Transform Remediation Rule reports to display data audit updates during the Transform Automation process.

NOTE: Enabling this feature may affect performance.

If unchecked, Map generates the remediation rule value to process, but does not build the new view to generate the remediation report.

Reset Field Mapping

Displays the action taken when a user clicks the Reset icon for a field mapping on the Field Mappings page n Map or the Automation SQL Field Mappings page in SQL AutoGen.

Options are:

  • Reset all Field Mapping Fields – All fields are cleared of values

NOTE: If the mapping is associated with a field group other than the default field group (* or “All”), the Target Relationship ID field is not updated on a reset.

  • Reset Status Fields only – All fields retain values except for the Mapping Status and Rule Status, which are set to Pending Review.

Reset Value Mapping

Displays the action to take on value mappings for field mappings using the Xref or RuleXref action when the field mappings are reset.

Reset Transform Rule

Displays the action to take on Transform rules for field mappings using Copy, Default, Rule, Xref or RuleXref action when the field mappings are reset.

Metric Options

Metric Daily Retention

Displays the number of days metrics are saved. The default value is 35.

This daily summary is used to build the Snap Shot metrics.

Metric Summary Retention

Displays the number of days metric summary data is saved. The default value is 180.

Rule Options

Source Delete Rule Priority

Displays the priority Map assigns to a Source delete rule when the rule is created. The default value is 19999.

Source Insert Rule Priority

Displays the priority Map assigns to a Source insert rule when the rule is created. The default Value is 20000.

Source Priority Multiplier

Displays the number used to multiply against the field’s priority on the Target Fields page in Map and the result is the Priority for the Rule in Transform. Source rules will be registered in Transform using this priority, leaving gaps in the priority numbers to be used for manual rules. For example, if the field MEINS is priority 20, and the Source Priority Multiplier is set to 10, then Map would set the Source rule priority to 200 in Transform. The default value is 10.

NOTE: Once a Source rule for a field is registered in Transform, Map will not adjust the priority.

Target Priority Multiplier

Displays the number used to multiply against the field’s priority on the Target Fields page in Map and the result is the Priority for the Rule in Transform. Target rules will be registered in Transform using this priority, leaving gaps in the priority numbers to be used for manual rules. For example, if the field MEINS is priority 20, and the Source Priority Multiplier is set to 10, then Map would set the Target rule priority to 200 in Transform, The default value is 10.

NOTE: Once a Target rule for a field is registered in Transform, Map will not adjust the priority.

Target Report Priority Multiplier

Displays the number used to multiply against the field’s priority on the Target Fields page in Map and the result is the Priority for the Rule in Transform. Target reports will be built and registered in Transform using this priority, leaving gaps in the priority numbers to be used for target reports created manually. For example, if a report is priority 20 and the Target Report Priority Multiplier is set to 10, then Map would set the target priority to 200 in Transform. The default value is 10.

NOTE: Once a Target report is registered in Transform, Map will not adjust the priority.

Target Report Remediation Priority Multiplier

Displays the number used to multiply against the field’s priority on the Target Fields page in Map and the result is the Priority for the Rule in Transform. Target reports with remediation will be built and registered in Transform using this priority, leaving gaps in the priority numbers to be used for Target reports with remediation created manually. For example, if a report is priority 20, and the Target Report Remediation Priority Multiplier is set to 10, then Map would set the Target report with remediation priority to 200 in Transform. The default value is 10.

NOTE: Once a Target report with remediation is registered in Transform, Map will not adjust the priority.

Field

Description

Directory Paths

Source Path

Displays the path for the Source directory where Source files (generally package files) that can be imported into Transform are stored.

Report Path

Displays the path where Transform will create report files. All files are generated to the path:

C:\DSW\Report\<Wave Name>-<Process Area>\<Target Name>

For example, if Transform were generating reports for the target ttMARA in the SouthAmerica Wave, MM Process Area, the reports would be written to:

C:\DSW\Report\SouthAmerica-MM\ttMARA

Export Path

Displays the path where Transform will create export files. All files are generated to the path:

C:\DSW\Export\<Wave Name>-<Process Area>\<Target Name>

C:\DSW\Export\SouthAmerica-MM\ttMARA
