Introduction
XML Data mapper module allows users to implement a data transformation from one format defined by a source xsd to a format defined by a target xsd, and create xsl documents in a data transformation defined in VulCon. The use of graphics speeds up the process of defining the mapping of data, and give it a simple and efficient graphical representation.
Creating a new data transformation
The steps required to create a graphical form of data transformation are:
- Access the VulCon Core view and expand the GVDataTransformation node
- Click on Transformations item with right mouse button and choose in the drop-down list
Transformations --> Create XSLT Transformation
- Using the appearing wizard, insert the data transformation definition parameters:
- Transformation Name: a configuration file with .gvxdt extension and a xsl transformation file with .xsl extension will be created with the name choosen in this field
- Data Source: the datasource name that indicates the repository where files will be deposited
- Path XSL: internal del datasource path in which the xsl file will be generated
- XSD Input: xsd file name defining the source format
- root XSD Input: source xsd file root element name from which start the data transformation operation. Xsd files suggested by the drop-down list are stored in the /conf/xsds folder
- XSD Output: xsd file name defining the target format
- root XSD Output: target xsd file root element name from which start the data transformation operation. Xsd files suggested by the drop-down list are stored in the /conf/xsds folder
- Click the wizard Finish button: in Graphic Editor VulCon perspective will appear the graphic editor for the data transformation definition
