Previewing XML Transaction Maps

Use the preview pane to preview an XML transaction map in a format different from the main window view. The preview pane displays the transaction map in column format, lists the source items mapped to the target items, and indicates if modifications have been assigned to XML data.

To preview an XML transaction map:

Access the Business Connect XML mapping utility.
Right-click a transaction in the Trading Partner Tree and select Edit Transaction Map to display the transaction map.
Click the tab for the map you want to view.
From the Options menu, select Show Preview Pane to display the Mapping Preview pane.

Note: The Preview Pane displays by default when you open the mapping utility.

The preview displays the following information for mapped elements in the received document or sent document map:

Column	Description
Target	The elements that display in the Target XML column of the tab you are currently viewing: For received document maps, displays elements in Eclipse for the transaction type. For sent document maps, displays elements in the DTD file for the reply/sent document from your trading partner.
Source	The elements that display in the Source XML column of the tab you are currently viewing: For received document maps, displays elements in the DTD file for the received document from your trading partner. For reply/sent maps, displays elements in Eclipse for the transaction type. Note: If a source element has several target elements mapped to it, the listing in the Source column of the Mapping Preview pane displays with a Multiple symbol. Double-click the symbol to view the target elements mapped to the source.
Conversion Data	Indicates if modifications have been specified for the element. For additional information, see Modifying Incoming and Outgoing XML Data Overview. Click the symbol in the Conversion Data column to display the XML Mapping Conversion Editor dialog box. If there is a single operation applied to the element, the type of operation displays, for example, ConvertDate. If multiple operations are assigned to the element, Multiple Operations displays.

Note: Right-click a line item in the Mapping Preview pane and select Remove this Mapping to remove an element mapping from the transaction map. Right-click a line item and select Modify this Mapping to modify XML data.
