Conceptual Model Editor Transformation Tab

Use the Transformation tab to determine which data elements used by Order and Service Management order transformation manager support data propagation. Data propagation impacts performance.

Field	Use
Supports Forward Propagation	Select to propagate data changes from the original order item to the transformed order item. Data element changes on the original order item are transformed according to the mapping configuration in the OSM mapping rule, and the result is populated to the transformed order item.
Supports Reverse Propagation	Select to propagate data changes from the transformed order item to the original order item. Data element changes on the transformed order item are transformed in reverse according to the mapping configuration in the OSM mapping rule and the result is populated to the original order item. For example, if there exists unit-of-measure mapping between data elements on the original and transformed order items, with the original value being in hours and the transformed value being in minutes, the changed value on the transformed order item will be divided by 60 before being updated on the original order item.
Key Path	Define a key element for a multi-instance node. This value is used during order transformation management. See "Working with Mapping Rules" for more information. This field appears when you select a structured data element in the Data Elements area.

Field

Use

Supports Forward Propagation

Select to propagate data changes from the original order item to the transformed order item.

Data element changes on the original order item are transformed according to the mapping configuration in the OSM mapping rule, and the result is populated to the transformed order item.

Supports Reverse Propagation

Select to propagate data changes from the transformed order item to the original order item.

Data element changes on the transformed order item are transformed in reverse according to the mapping configuration in the OSM mapping rule and the result is populated to the original order item.

For example, if there exists unit-of-measure mapping between data elements on the original and transformed order items, with the original value being in hours and the transformed value being in minutes, the changed value on the transformed order item will be divided by 60 before being updated on the original order item.

Key Path

Define a key element for a multi-instance node. This value is used during order transformation management. See "Working with Mapping Rules" for more information. This field appears when you select a structured data element in the Data Elements area.
