MapForce® 2008 FAQ Answers

  • Are flat text files supported as a source or target in MapForce® 2008?
    MapForce® 2008 Enterprise Edition and MapForce® 2006 Professional Edition supports flat text files as a source and target.
  • Are substitution groups supported in MapForce® 2008?
    MapForce® 2008 Enterprise Edition now supports substitution groups when working with an XML source or target.
  • Can I generate XSLT 2.0 code with MapForce® 2008?
    MapForce® 2008 now supports the generation of XSLT 2.0 stylesheets.
  • Is it possible to generate a many to one mapping with MapForce® 2008?
    The 'Duplicate Input' functionality of MapForce® 2008 offers you the flexibility to create such mappings. Please consult the MapForce® 2008 documentation for more information on how to use this feature.
  • Is it possible to use a database as a target for a mapping in MapForce® 2008?
    It is now possible to not only use a database as a source but also as a target for mappings.
  • Does MapForce® 2008 support EDI/EDIFACT?
    Yes, EDI/EDIFACT are both supported as a source and target in MapForce® 2008.
  • Why is it not possible to generate XSLT from a mapping if a database is used?
    It is necessary to generate program code in c++, c# or java as this code will extract the data from the database or write to the database. XSLT alone cannot do this.
  • I have a large mapping which requires intensive horizontal and vertical scrolling. This often causes me to lose my orientation...is there any help which will allow me to determine my exact position in a mapping?
    MapForce® 2008 now includes an 'Overview' functionality which enables you to determine your relative position within a mapping.
  • Is it only possible to generate the result from a database to schema, schema to database or database to database mapping by generating code, compiling it, and then running the resulting application?
    MapForce® 2008 now includes the possibility to also take care of this internally meaning that it is not necessary to generate code in order to obtain the result of a mapping which involves a database.
