Attribute Mapping Object Type

An attribute mapping is an object that identifies a column in a data table that EIM updates. This column resides in the destination table that is defined in the parent EIM table mapping. An attribute mapping includes the following properties:

Interface Table Data Column. Identifies the column in the interface table that supplies the data.
Base Table Attribute Column. Identifies the column in the destination table that receives the data.

If you add an extension column to a table, and if an interface table must provide data to the extension table, then you must add a corresponding attribute mapping.

The following table and image shows an example of how an EIM table mapping references a data table.

EIM_PRI_LIST Interface Table Attribute Maps to:	S_PRI_LIST_ITEM Data Table Column
PLI_CURCY_CD	CURCY_CD
PLI_DESC	DESC_TXT
PLI_PRI_CD	PRI_CD
