Mappings Manager Bind

This bind is used by business rules to give access to define the ObjectMappingChange and ValueMappingChange mapping definitions. This bind is intended for use with the PMDM for Automotive solution.

Note: ObjectMappingChange is a bind object that is used to make new objects from JavaScript in the Mapper framework, and ValueMappingChange is a bind object that is used to set values on objects from JavaScript. For details, refer to the Javadoc documentation by clicking the Technical Documentation button on the Start Page.

The bind can be found within the 'Binds to' dropdown, as shown below.

Configuration

To use any bind:

  1. Create a business rule as defined in the Creating a Business Rule, Function, or Library topic.

  2. Edit the business rule as defined in the Editing a Business Rule or Function topic.

  3. In the Edit Operation dialog, add the bind to a business rule, as defined in the Adding a Bind topic in the Resource Materials online help documentation.

Example

The following is an example JavaScript that uses this bind.

Important: Example scripts should not be used as-is without thorough testing, including updating the script to match object and link types that exist on your system. JavaScript variable names are case-sensitive.

The Mappings Manager is bound in as the 'mapmanager' variable, and adds the value 'USD' to the Attribute 'TD_ATTR_WKZ' through the 'CurrencyCode' variable.
