How to Create Batch Data Mapping Projects


A common requirement in data processing is batch data mapping, especially in the context of data transformation and integration. It involves converting data in batches rather than processing individual data points one at a time. Batch data mapping is often required in data integration or ETL scenarios where input from multiple sources needs to be aligned or transformed together. Two common scenarios are batch to batch and batch to one.

In our batch data processing video series, we walk you through implementing these projects step-by-step using visual tools in MapForce
