How to Build a Mercator Map - 1.2

7. With the From card selected, select the Card menu then New. Fill in the following fields:

• CardName = In_* where * is descriptive of the application

• TypeTree = the input Type Tree you have created (use the drop down arrow to point and click to the Type Tree file location)

• TypeName = the file level of the tree you are testing (use the drop down arrow to point and click to the correct level)

• FileSourcePath = the input source of the data you are testing

Note: You should store all files in the same folders. This eliminates the problem of referential folder paths when you move to quality and production.

8. Click OK.

9. With the To card selected, select the Card menu then New. Fill in the following fields:

• CardName = Out_* where * is descriptive of the application

• TypeTree = the Type Tree you created by importing the .ido file (use the drop down arrow to point and click to the correct level)

• TypeName = Packet

• FileTargetPath = Output.txt

Note: When you have successfully tested your map from one flat file to another you will change the adapter of the output card to R/3. For instructions see 006 - Add R3 Adapter.doc. However, it is a best practice to begin simple so troubleshooting is easier.

10. Click OK.

11. Create the Rule to the functional map on the Idoc level. Type =F_Make_Idoc(). Then drag the record level of the Input card (From) into the parentheses.
