Multi Mapping

Posted on Apr 15, 2010 at 05.53 PM - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

There are several types of multi mapping:

a. n:1 mapping: Multiple messages are combined into one message, for example, multiple purchase orders are combined to make just one single purchase order

b. 1:n mapping: One large message is split into multiple individual messages, for example, one large purchase order is divided into the individual purchase order items

c. n:m mapping: n source messages are transformed into m target messages.

Notes: Aside from using graphical mapping, it's possible to create multi mapping using Java mapping or business process management (BPM).
