Active Configuration
Allows you to select the currently active global resource configuration from a list of configurations previously defined in the Global Resources.
Create Reversed Mapping
Creates a "reversed" mapping from the currently active mapping in MapForce, which is to be the basis of a new mapping. Note that the result is not intended to be a complete mapping, only the direct connections between components are retained in the reversed mapping. It is very likely that the resulting mapping will not be valid or suitable for preview in the Output pane, without manual editing.
When you reverse a mapping, the source component becomes the target component, and target component becomes the source. If an input or output XML instance file have been assigned to a component, then they will be swapped.
The following data is retained:
•Direct connections between components
•Direct connections between components in a chained mapping
•The type of connection: Standard, Mixed content, Copy-All
•Pass-through component settings
•Database components
The following data is not retained:
•Connections via functions, filters, etc, along with the functions, filters, etc.
•User-defined functions
•Web service components
