Chapter 5 - Card Settings
You configure how to run a map by specifying map settings in the Map Settings
dialog box, defining SourceRule card settings on the input card, and defining
TargetRule card settings on the output card. All of the card settings are on the
Add (or Edit) Input Card and Add (or Edit) Output Card dialog boxes.
Each input of data and each output of data require content definition settings.
Card settings define the data object the card represents, and how the data is
retrieved or routed.
Card settings can be exported. See the Exporting a Map Source File section for
details on exporting card settings for a mp.
Tip Each card setting has context-sensitive Help.
To access Help on card settings
1 With current focus on any card setting, press F1.
A help topic appears for that card setting.
Schema
The Schema for input and output cards defines the CardName, the TypeTree,
and the Type.
CardName
Each card in a map has a unique name to distinguish cards in the map. Precise
naming of the card is practical and useful. A good practice is to name the card the
same name as the data object it represents. Follow the card name guidelines.
Although cards can be named most anything you want, typically you would want
to use a name that describes the data, such as InputFile, ClaimData,
ItemMasterRow, and CreditApprovalMsg.
