Viewing Mappings

Mappings are generated after a reverse engineering job is completed successfully. A mapping provides information, such as data models associated with a data source, the physical and logical metadata, and the ER diagram. Using the Mappings page, you can map Columns to Data Elements and tables to Firmwide Data Concepts using the Expanded Logical Name (ELN).

To view a mapping, do the following:

  1. On the navigation bar on the left, click .
    This opens the Mappings page.

  2. You can view mappings on either of the Applications or Metadata tabs.
    1. The Applications tab enables you to navigate to tables and columns starting from an application. To view mappings using the Applications tab, do the following:
      1. Select an application.
        A list of associated data stores is displayed.
      2. Select the data store for which you want to view the mapping.
        The associated data models and the corresponding physical and logical metadata, and ER diagram are displayed.
      3. Click each tab to view corresponding metadata, such as tables, column, entities, attributes, and ER diagram.
      4. Select a table, column, entity or attribute to view further information.
    2. The Metadata tab enables you to navigate to tables and columns starting from a data model. To view mappings using the Metadata tab, do the following:
      1. Select a data model.
        The associated substores and the corresponding physical and logical metadata, and ER diagram are displayed on separate tabs.
      2. Click each tab to view corresponding metadata, such as tables, column, entities, attributes, and ER diagram.

      3. Select a table, column, entity or attribute to view further information.
