How To Remove a Mapping

This topic describes how to remove a mapping from an update map.

Overview

An update map shows mappings for required, optional, and key elements. In an update map, optional elements are displayed with a question mark, and key elements with a key symbol. A key element is usually required.

Optional and Key Elements in an Update Map

If you remove a mapping from a key element, it becomes disabled with a warning icon .

Mappings to LINE_ID and PROD_ID Deleted

Removing a mapping might also cause create, update, or delete procedures to become disabled . However, you can correct either of these conditions, by handling unmapped required values.

Example

If you need to remove a mapping, you can do so in either the update map or query map. 

To remove a mapping in the update map:

1. Click the Update Map tab.
2. Right-click the mapping line, then choose Delete.
3. If the element becomes disabled in the update block on the left, resolve it.

To remove a mapping in the query map:

1. In the Query Map tab, right-click the mapping, then choose Delete.
2. Handle any required unmapped values in the update map.
