Altova MapForce 2025 Basic Edition

This topic explains how to create a new design, select a transformation language, validate and save your mapping.

 

Create a new design

To be able to carry out a transformation, you will need to create a new mapping design, which can be done in one of the following ways:

 

Go to the File menu and click New.

Click ic_new in the toolbar.

 

Select a transformation language

Depending on your MapForce edition, different transformation languages are available. For this tutorial, we have selected XSLT3. You can select this transformation language in one of the following ways:

 

Click XSLT3 in the toolbar.

Open the Output menu and click XSLT 3.0.

 

Validate and save the design

Validating a mapping is an optional step that enables you to see and correct potential mapping errors and warnings before you run the mapping. You can validate your mapping at any stage. To check whether the mapping is valid, do one of the following:

 

Click Validate Mapping in the File menu.

Click ic-val-mapping in the toolbar.

 

The Messages window displays the validation results as follows:

MF_Tut1_ValSaveMap

To save the mapping, do one of the following:

 

Click Save in the File menu.

Click toolbar_btn_save in the toolbar.

 

For your convenience, the mapping created in this tutorial is saved as Tut1_OneToOne.mfd.
