功能詳細介紹

數(shù)據(jù)映射

MapForce界面通過圖形界面促進了數(shù)據(jù)集成，該圖形界面包括許多用于管理，可視化，操縱和執(zhí)行單個映射和復(fù)雜映射項目的選項。使用設(shè)計窗格以圖形方式定義映射組件，添加功能和用于數(shù)據(jù)操作的過濾器，以及拖動連接器以在源格式和目標格式之間進行轉(zhuǎn)換。

數(shù)據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)換工具

對于數(shù)據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)換，MapForce提供了可擴展的數(shù)據(jù)處理和轉(zhuǎn)換功能庫，可以根據(jù)數(shù)據(jù)集成項目的需要過濾和處理數(shù)據(jù)。 MapForce還包括一個獨特的可視功能構(gòu)建器，以定義和重用結(jié)合了多種操作的自定義功能。為了節(jié)省時間并利用已經(jīng)完成并經(jīng)過測試的工作，甚至可以導(dǎo)入現(xiàn)有的數(shù)據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)換代碼，用戶定義的函數(shù)或XSLT 1.0或2.0文件作為函數(shù)庫。

數(shù)據(jù)映射輸出預(yù)覽

MapForce內(nèi)置的執(zhí)行引擎允許您預(yù)覽程序代碼和XML，數(shù)據(jù)庫，平面文件，EDI，Excel，協(xié)議緩沖區(qū)和XBRL數(shù)據(jù)映射的輸出。您可以執(zhí)行映射轉(zhuǎn)換，然后根據(jù)定義的目標格式立即查看并保存在XQuery，Java，C ++或C＃中生成的映射結(jié)果。

交互式數(shù)據(jù)映射調(diào)試器

MapForce包括革命性的交互式調(diào)試器，可協(xié)助進行數(shù)據(jù)映射設(shè)計。調(diào)試器允許用戶單步執(zhí)行映射，并逐步查看實際從源流向目標節(jié)點的數(shù)據(jù)。菜單命令，特殊的工具欄以及在調(diào)試器運行時自動打開的幫助程序窗口支持MapForce調(diào)試器，因此用戶可以跟蹤中間處理操作并在映射執(zhí)行期間檢查數(shù)據(jù)值。

XML映射

MapForce中用于XML的數(shù)據(jù)映射工具支持基于XML Schema或DTD內(nèi)容模型的映射。要開發(fā)XML映射，只需將兩個或多個模式加載到MapForce中，然后在源節(jié)點和目標節(jié)點之間拖動連接線即可。混合內(nèi)容支持甚至使您能夠映射散布在XML中的文本數(shù)據(jù)。

轉(zhuǎn)換Protobuf

協(xié)議緩沖區(qū)（Protobuf）是Google的一種語言和平臺無關(guān)的機制，用于序列化結(jié)構(gòu)化數(shù)據(jù)。該方法涉及描述某些數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)的接口描述語言和從該描述生成源代碼的程序，該程序用于生成或解析表示結(jié)構(gòu)化數(shù)據(jù)的字節(jié)流。為了使數(shù)據(jù)交換成為可能，協(xié)議緩沖區(qū)格式的二進制文件應(yīng)帶有.proto文件，該文件定義了編碼后的二進制數(shù)據(jù)的結(jié)構(gòu)。

Web services and custom data integration applications are two modern solutions that allow organizations to unify these disparate formats to enjoy the cost and competitive advantages of seamless information exchange. MapForce®  uniquely lets you map data in an intuitive, visual manner. Then it auto-generates the program code or stylesheets required to implement your Web services and custom data integration applications server-side. MapForce® supports the following powerful functionality:

• Graphical data mapping
• Executing and saving mapping output
• Bi-directional XML, database, flat file, EDI, & Web services data mapping
• Advanced data processing functions
• Mapping data to WSDL operations
• Visual function builder for creating custom functions
• Building Web services
• Project view for organizing mappings
• Mapping multiple sources to multiple targets
• Seamless integration with Eclipse and Visual Studio
• Parsing flat files using FlexText™ utility
• OLE and ActiveX controls
• XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, XQuery generation
• Java, C#, C++ program code generation
• And much more...

Integrate Enterprise Data

• In addition to support for building Web services, MapForce® allows you to design data integration applications for mapping any combination of XML, database, flat file, EDI, and Web services data.
• XML mapping support is based on XML Schema.
• Database mapping support includes accessing database views and systems table in any relational database.
• Flat file mappingsupport includes CSV, tab delimited, and fixed-width text files. Support for arbitrary or mixed layout flat files is also provided through MapForce FlexText™, a versatile flat file parsing utility.
• EDI mapping support includes the hundreds of messages covered by the two most popular EDI standards: UN/EDIFACT and ANSI X12.
• Web services mapping support allows connecting to existing Web services to utilize their functionality as a source, target, or processing function in data mappings.

MapForce® is available in three editions customized to meet your Web services and data integration needs:

• MapForce Standard Edition supports XML-to-XML mapping.
• MapForce Professional Edition supports XML, database, and flat file data mapping.
• MapForce Enterprise Edition supports all the features of MapForce Professional edition with the addition of Web services mapping and implementation, EDI mapping, and the FlexText flat file parsing utility.
