Generate business object or XSLT maps
You use Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) and business object maps to manipulate, evaluate, and format data.
An XML map transforms a source XML document into a target XML document. The map editor takes the source XML documents that are to be transformed, and generates a transformation file that performs the actual transformations at run time. The map editor generates a map in one of the following formats:
- XSLT version 1.0
- XSLT version 2.0
- business object map
When you target a business object map to be created, the business object map is generated at build time in the IBM Integration Designer toolkit. The business object map is located in the Module|Library|gen folder and registered in serviceDeploy.
Also, when the XML map editor is set to generate a business object map, the map editor only displays transformations that are valid in the business object map domain. This is a subset of what is supported when the XML map editor is set to generate XSLT 1.0 or XSLT 2.0.
- Setting the map generation type
To specify which type of transformation file to generate, use the map editor Properties view.
