True, but not very user friendly with its tiny box for entry/view and then only for links.

We are doing a series of very complex mapping and would like some way to comment our mappings from within MapForce. Our fear is that there will be a tremendous learning curve for someone coming in a year or so later ot fix or extend a mapping. We are trying to compartmentalize as much as possible by using 'user controls', but that only helps to a certain degree.

Thanks,

Topic: Multiple Mapping to single dll

Our experience has been that included UDFs (inline) seem to work OK initially, but when the enclosing UDF is opened later the connections have gone to the red '?'. Removing the function and re-adding seems to correct the problem until we reopen the enclosing function later on. The included user functions work without any problem when used by themselves in a mapping. We reopen the UDF because the parent mapping file indicates that there is a problem.

Any thoughts on what we might be doing wrong, need to look at?

Thanks.

A typical method to split mapping into different parts is to make parts of mapping as user-defined functions which you can then collect in one big mapping - in this case you still should end up in a single DLL


We tried this, but it appears that you can not include a user-defined function in a user defined-function which means we have to lose a lot of reuseablity. Is this your experience?

thanks

We are working on a very complex mapping. To make the mapping more readable, and so that multiple people can simultaneously work on the project, we would like to break down the mapping into multiple mapping files. However, we would like the code generation to create a single .dll that takes a single input XML and produces a single output XML. The Mapforce default code generation is to create an application (.dll potentially) per mapping file.

Is anyone dong what we are trying to do and, if so, how did you go about it?

Thanks.
