Domain Value Map

A Domain Value Map (DVM) is used for values that are relatively static and are relatively limited in total number, such as country codes and states. DVMs generally have all values entered into the maps prior to the transformation process, and are less frequently extended compared to cross-reference maps.

The DVM consists of domains, maps, and elements.

Term	Definition
Domain	A participating integrating system, for example, Siebel or Oracle E-Business Suite. Note: Multiple domains can be maintained for a map.
Maps	A static object for which the mapping needs to be maintained, for example, currency code or country code.
Element	The unit of data in the local or remote message upon which an irreducible transanimation operates. An irreducible transanimation is one that cannot be broken into smaller transformations. Most elements contain a single data value, but that may not always be the case. For example, an address could be represented as a single string, or it could be composed of separate strings representing city, state, street, and house number. Examples of DVM elements are country code and common value.
