The Map editor enables you to define source and target connections to the required files, tables or entities, manipulate and process the source data using the event model and scripting language, and then write the data to the specified target(s). The user interface for the Map editor has four distinct tabs (Source, Target, Mapping, and Configuration). The information contained on the Source and Target tabs can be saved to the active Workspace as a User Defined Connection (v9 compatibility mode on) or a dataset (v9 compatibility mode off) that can be reused in new Maps.

Maps can be called within the Process Editor using the Transformation Step. It can also be run directly from the Standalone Engine.
