This task is a step in Process of Installing SOA Composites for This Integration.

This topic includes the following topics:

A domain value map operates on data values. These values transit through the infrastructure at run time. A DVM allows you to map data values that reside in a vocabulary in a given domain to a vocabulary that resides in a different domain.

For example, assume a domain represents a city with a long name, such as Los Angeles, while another domain represents a city with the short name for that same city, such as LA. You can use a domain value map to map Los Angeles to LA. A point-to-point mapping is a direct mapping of values between two or more domains. Mapping Los Angeles to LA is an example of a point-to-point mapping.
