Not Used

The Not Used action is used when a field that is available in the Source system will not be loaded into the Target system. The field is not used for the selected Source, but may be used for other Source systems. A field that is Not Used is mapped for reporting and metrics purposes.

NOTE: Unmapped Target or Target Source fields can be automatically set to NotUsed. Refer to Update Unmapped Fields to NotUsed for more information.

NOTE: A mapping with a Not Used action cannot be saved unless the fields SOURCE TABLE, SOURCE FIELD, DEFAULT VALUE, and RULE SQL on the Horizontal View are blank and the Target Relationship ID field on the Vertical View is empty on the Field Mappings page.

To create a field mapping using the Not Used action on the Field Mappings page:

  1. Select the field to be mapped.

  2. Click Edit.

    View the field descriptions for the Field Mappings page 

  3. Select Not Used from the ACTION list box.

  4. Click Save.

  5. Click the Submit icon on the Page toolbar.

The mapping must be approved by a Developer on the Mapping Approval page for documentation purposes and to help track progress of the data migration project. Refer to Mapping Approval and Assign Developers to a Target or Source for more information.

Once the mapping has been submitted, the Action, Source Table, Source Field and Default Value fields do not allow updates until one of the following events occurs:

  • The Developer clicks Reject on the Mapping Approval page.
  • The Mapper clicks Reset on the Field Mappings page.

NOTE: When a user clicks Reset, Mapping By, Submitted By, Created By and Approved By field will be reset to NULL values.  The Rejected By field does not update and contains the user ID of the Developer who rejected the mapping on the Mapping Approval page. The Mapper can contact the Developer with any questions.

Once the fields allow update, edit them, click Save, and click the Submit icon on the Page toolbar. This updated mapping is sent to the Developer for review on the Mapping Approval page.
