2 Agenda Concepts Any to Any Transformation Execution Options Execution Platforms Terminology The Eclipse Designer First Mappings First Typetree First Map Second Map Summary Further reading Q & A WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 2 of 30

3 Concepts Any to Any Transformation WTX takes any kind of data as input XML EDI IDoc etc and using no coding, both simple and complex transformations can be made..then output as the target data type. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 3 of 30

4 Concepts Execution Options WTX maps can be executed in a number of ways: Command Server Launcher WebSphere Message Broker Node API Web Service DataPower Web Appliance WebSphere Application Server / WebSphere Process Server A common transformation engine...multiple deployment options WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 4 of 30

5 Concepts Execution Platforms WTX maps can be executed on a diverse range of architectures: Windows Unix (AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Itanium) ** Linux ** z/os (Batch, IMS SDK, CICS) z/os USS ** ** 32 and 64 bit availability WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 5 of 30

7 The Eclipse Designer A java based, standardised, opensource design environment WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 7 of 30

8 First Mapping First Typetree A right-click on the Typetree branch of the project tree to start the creation of a new typetree. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 8 of 30

9 First Mapping First Typetree Right-click on the Root object, and choose Add to create a new object. Change the object Class from Category to Item WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 9 of 30

10 First Mapping First Map A right-click on the Map branch of the project tree to start the creation of a new Map Source. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 10 of 30

11 First Mapping First Map A right-click on the toplevel object in the Outline window will allow the creation of a new map. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 11 of 30

12 First Mapping First Map Expand the outline view. Add an input card. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 12 of 30

13 First Mapping First Map Name the card. Choose the Typetree. Choose the Typetree Object. Choose the input file. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 13 of 30

14 First Mapping First Map Now create an output card the same way. The cards must have unique names and in this case the output file is different to the input file. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 14 of 30

15 First Mapping First Map Your map design area should now look like this. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 15 of 30

16 First Mapping First Map Your completed map design area should now look like this. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 16 of 30

17 First Mapping First Map The functions list box, with the All category expanded. The functions list box, with the UPPERCASE function shown. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 17 of 30

18 First Mapping First Map The function is added to the existing content New functions added are compounded. WebSphere Support Technical Exchange 18 of 30
