Altova MapForce 2020 Basic Edition

Create or edit path references to miscellaneous schema, instance, and other files used by a mapping.

Using Relative and Absolute Paths

Fine-tune the data mapping for specific needs (for example, influence the sequence of items in a target component).

Connection Types

Use the output of a component as input of another component.

Chained mappings / pass-through components

Process multiple files (for example, all files within a directory) in the same mapping, either as a source or a target.

Processing Multiple Input or Output Files Dynamically

Pass an external value (such as a string parameter) to the mapping.

Supplying Parameters to the Mapping

Get a string value out of the mapping, instead of a file.

Returning String Values from a Mapping

Store some mapping data temporarily for later processing (similar to variables in a programming language).

Using Variables

Sort data in ascending or descending order.

Sorting Data

Filter nodes/rows based on specific criteria, or process values conditionally.

Filters and Conditions

Merge data from multiple sources with different schema.

Merging Data from Multiple Schemas

Process key-value pairs, for example, to convert months from numerical representation (01, 02, and so on) to text representation (January, February, and so on).

Using Value-Maps

Learn how to avoid undesired results when designing complex mappings.
