Progress XML Schema Mapping Tool

Every time the SmartB2BObject converts some document to or from XML, it must read the logical associations from a map file.

The tree view displays the current state of the map file. Each line represents a mappable element of the document. As you make mapping choices, the tree view changes to reflect them. When every node displays a mapping, your map file is complete.

The four tabs on the right contain the editing interface:
