Introduction
You can create a record map using the Record Mapper page of the Management Portal. If your file is a delimited file, you can also use the CSV Record Wizard to further automate the process. As you develop your record map, you can view how a sample file displays in the record map.
Important:
Regenerating record maps (including CSVRecord maps) discards manual modifications to generated code. To help guide this principle, the generated parser class methods (GetObject, PutObject, GetRecord, PutRecord) are clearly marked with “DO NOT EDIT” comments.
The Record Mapper page includes a visual representation of the record map structure, and a simple interface which allows you to enter and manipulate the more detailed settings available for the record map components. It also allows you to reposition sibling elements (elements at the same level). One of the more important features of the user interface is that if you have a sample input file, a sample parse of the file will be attempted when the current record map is saved. You can address small issues in your record map directly from the Management Portal.
You can also create a record map directly using XML and the model classes.
