Enter Mapping Rules

After the dimension mapping is complete, the next step is to enter mapping rules for all the dimensions except HSP_View and Amount. For this integration, we will use simple wild card mappings. Wild card mappings are fine for low volume integrations, but do not perform well for large data sets. (The HSP_View and Amount dimensions use the target and source expressions we set up when we mapped the dimensions instead of the wild card mappings.)

For each dimension (except HSP_View and Amount) we will enter * as the source, * as the target, and a processing sequence. As a standard practice, it is recommended to enter a different sequence for each rule.

For each dimension (except HSP_View) we will enter * as the source, * as the target, and a processing sequence. As a standard practice, it is recommended to enter a different sequence for each rule.

  1. With the Account dimension selected, click Add button (Add button) to add a new mapping rule.
