Attribute Mapping Object Type

Identifies an attribute (data) column to update in the destination (base) table specified in the parent EIM table mapping. Each Attribute Mapping object definition identifies the column in the interface table that supplies the data (in the Interface Table Data Column property). It also identifies the column in the destination table that receives the data (in the Base Table Attribute Column property).

You can configure the Attribute Mapping object type. You should add a corresponding Attribute Mapping object definition when you add an extension column to a table, if the extension table is to be populated by an interface table.

The Attribute Mapping object type is shown in Figure 22.
