Creating a Map Without Using Map Wizard
Note: When creating a new map (manually or using the Map Wizard) and the target has no schema, DataConnect attempts to create one using the source schema. This is a straightforward process with a single record source to a single record target. The process differs with a multi-record (or hierarchical) source to multi-record target. In this case, DataConnect locates the first “flat” source record type (a record where none of the fields are themselves a record) and uses it to generate a basic schema for the target. Users can then build out the schema.
To create a map without using the Map wizard:
1. Select a DataConnect project and do any of the following:
• Go to File > New > Map.
• Click the arrow in 
and then click Map.
and then click Map.• Right-click on the project and then click New > Map.
The New Map Wizard is displayed.
2. In the Map File Name text box, type a name for the map and click Finish.
A new map is created and added under the project. When you create a map, the map file opens in a Map Editor view (tab), where you can design the map. To design the map, you must define the source and targets, map the source and target fields, and specify the events and actions. For more information about these, see the following sections:
