Outbound Map Data - Data Source

Data Sources (outlined in the Map Data image below) indicate the original location of the information being exported. A data source provides a way to associate the mapping targets (defined by the template and displayed on the right side) with the STEP information available for the selected object types being exported.

The user interface for the mapping step of the Export Manager tool and the outbound integration endpoint tool are not exactly the same. For Export Manager, mapping is described in the Export Manager - Map Data topic. For OIEPs, mapping is handled in the Output Templates section under the Format parameter as described in the OIEP - Event-Based - Output Templates Section topic or the OIEP - Select Objects - Output Templates Section topic.

For more information about the additional wizard steps, refer to Creating a Data Export or Creating an Outbound Integration Endpoint.

The process to map data differs only slightly based on the data source selected. Generally, mapping data involves selecting one or more data sources from the left panel and then clicking the mapping target arrow in the right panel. The selected data appears in the list of columns to export.
