Working with Variable Maps

You create variable maps using the Administration - Order Management screen, then the Variable Maps views. Here you define the variables that are queried and written in various situations.

To access the Variable Maps views, navigate to the Administration - Order Management screen, then the Variable Maps view, and in the Versions list applet, click the Work Space hyperlink. Variable Maps views include the following:

• Variable Maps view. Create new variable maps, update existing variable maps, release a variable map into production.

• Child Variable Maps view. Define child variable maps to be executed and attached to the parent. These are returned as a child property set of each row in the parent property set.

• Modes view. Define modes for variable maps. Set the mode according to the Mode user property on the business component invoking the signal that causes the variable map to be executed.

To configure mappings from business component field names to the variable map namespace, use the Integration Object object type in Web Tools. For more information, see About Using ISS Integration Objects with the Variable Map Mechanism.
