Mapping Manager

Mapping Manager is the core of erwin Data Intelligence (erwin DI), where you do the following:

• Source to target mappings using the Metadata Tree View
• Associate crosswalks to mappings using the Code Mapping Catalog
• Associate reference data to mappings using the Reference Table Catalog
• Associate requirements to mappings using the Specification Artifact Catalog
• Create new mapping versions
• Specify test cases

Once mappings are approved for coding, ETL developers can export them as coding requirements. They can also export the mappings to XML and automatically generate ETL/ELT jobs for ETL tools, such as Informatica PowerCenter, IBM DataStage, Microsoft SQL Server SSIS, and so on.

To access the Mapping Manager, go to Application Menu > Data Catalog > Mapping Manager. The Mapping Manager dashboard appears:

UI Section	Function
1-Workspace Mappings	Use this pane to browse and work on projects and mappings.
2-Central Pane	Use this pane to view or work on the data based on your selection in the browser pane.
3-Mapping Manager Dashboard	Use this pane to view statistics re lated to mappings and projects.
4-Published Mappings	Use this pane to view and export details of published mappings.

Managing mappings involves the following:

• Creating and managing mapping specifications
• Analyzing mappings
• Associating mappings
• Publishing and creating mapping versions
• Exporting mapping specifications
• Creating and managing test cases for mappings
