The Properties view is linked to the Outline view and the editor area, in that the Properties view displays the properties (if any) of the item that is currently selected in the editor area and in the Outline view (see Linked views).
Selecting
anywhere in the Mapping Root area of the mapping editor (including the
Mapping
Root control, the mapping file name, and any blank area of the
surrounding Mapping Root canvas) causes the properties of the mapping file
to be displayed in the Properties view.
You can edit the displayed properties by using the controls in the Properties view.
Selecting the mapping routine area of the mapping
editor (including the mapping routine control -- for example,
MR_0001 -- and also including
any blank area of the surrounding mapping routine canvas) causes the properties
of the currently displayed mapping routine to be displayed in the Properties
view.
You can edit the displayed properties by using the controls in the Properties view.
| Property: | Description: |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the currently displayed mapping routine (see Selecting a mapping routine to work on). |
Selecting a source message or a target message in the Outline view or in the editor area causes the properties of the selected message to be displayed in the Properties view. The mapping editor obtains these values from the message file in which the message is located.
You can modify these properties in the flow message editor (see Modifying a source message or a target message).
Selecting a field or a structure within a message in the editor area causes the properties of the selected structure or message to be displayed in the Properties view. The mapping editor obtains these values from the message file in which the message is located.
You can modify these properties in the flow message editor (see Modifying a source message or a target message).
Selecting a transform on the mapping routine canvas causes the properties of the selected transform to be displayed in the Properties view.
The type and number of the properties that are displayed the Properties view depend on the type of the selected transform.
