Supported MapForce Functionality

LANSA Composer

Supported MapForce Functionality

LANSA Composer supports the functionality offered by the mapping tool for mapping between XML, EDI, Excel (OOXML), text (including using FlexText), web service functions and database formats and including the use of constants, filters, If-Else conditions, supplied functions and input functions, provided that:

  • the functionality is supported by Altova when generating Java code for the map.
  • databases and database drivers used and the operating systems on which they are running are amongst those that are supported by LANSA for use with LANSA software.

Certain properties of a Transformation Map definition are set explicitly by LANSA Composer before generating the Java code for a map. Thus any changes that you make to these properties in your map definition will not affect the generated Java implementation of the map. These include:

  • The default output directory for generated code
  • The application name
  • The base package name for Java generation.
  • The output language (LANSA Composer always generates Java code)
