Setting the map generation type
To specify which type of transformation file to generate, use the map editor Properties view.
Maps transform XML documents to other document formats. You can use the Generation page of the map editor Properties view to specify the type of map you want to generate.
The type that you generate from an XML map must match the version of the Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) and XPath functions used by the transformations contained in the XML map. By default, XML maps generate XSLT 1.0; however, you can set the map to generate either XSLT 2.0 or a business object map.
An XML map can be set to generate either an XSLT or a business object map. With either an XSLT or business object map generation, when you generate a target map from the source, the attributes of the source are mapped to the target map.
Generate a map
To specify the type of map you want to generate, open a map in the XML map editor Properties > Generation view.
Select one of the following options in the Target engine list.
- XSLT 1.0
- XSLT 2.0
- Business Object Map
You might see validation errors on the map if the transformations contained within do not support the specified generation type.
