4.3.2 Glossary Mapping

Glossary mapping in a data catalog refers to linking business terms from a primary catalog (such as an PBSM glossary) to equivalent or related terms in a mapped catalog (like application-specific glossaries).

The Glossary Mapping Summary page, similar to the Catalog Summary and Connectors, provides an overview of glossary mappings.

The Glossary Mapping function allows you to manage and view mappings between different data catalogs.
  1. Navigate to the Data Foundation for Banking application, under Data Catalog section, click Glossary Mapping.
    The Glossary Mapping screen appears to view the list of Glossary Mapping.
  2. The table describes the various options in the Glossary Mapping screen.
