Displaying Mapping Relations in the Integration Builder Navigation Area

Mapping relations are grouped according to outbound interfaces in the Integration Builder navigation area.

Note the following:

·        If exactly one mapping relation is defined for an outbound interface, then the icon  is displayed next to the outbound interface in the navigation tree. Choose this icon to navigate directly to the Display/Change Mapping Relation Editor.

·        If more than one mapping relation is defined for an outbound interface, then the icon  is displayed next to the outbound interface in the navigation tree. In this case, first navigate to the overview table of all mapping relations (see: Overview of all Mapping Relations), then navigate to the individual mapping relations.
