Dataset Mapping

You can create a new dataset object from one or more attributes of a source object.

Attribute mapping may be configured to create Datasets associated with the source object. Each attribute present in the source object may be attached to a Dataset.

<Datasets>

<Dataset id="Dataset1" >

<DatasetID>

<Transforms>

<InsertAfter pattern="^.*$" value=" Dataset" />

</Transforms>

</DatasetID>

<ContextID value="IPE" />

<ClassID value="DATASET" />

</Dataset>

</Datasets>

<ObjectMappings regExTimeoutSecs="10">

<Object>

<Conditions>

<Attribute name="ClassName" pattern="Door" />

</Conditions>

<Attributes>

<Attribute name="Name">

<Dataset id="Dataset1" />

<Name value="Door Name" />

<Value value="[Name]" />

</Attribute>

<Attribute name="Description" pattern="^[A-Za-z]+$">

<Dataset id="Dataset1" />

<Name value="Door Description" />

<Value value="[Description]" />

</Attribute>

</Attributes>

</Object>

</ObjectMappings>

The above example defines a Dataset in the IPE context whose ID is based upon the ID of the source object with "Dataset" appended to it. The <DatasetID>, <ContextID> and <ClassID> elements support attribute references, transforms and lookups. The above example creates the attributes Door Name and Door Description on the Dataset.

As you move some or all the attributes from a source object into the dataset object, you may want to delete these objects from the source object. You can do the same using the following syntax:

<ObjectMappings regExTimeoutSecs="10">

<Object>

<Conditions>

<Attribute name="ClassName" pattern="PUMP" />

</Conditions>

<Attributes>

<Attribute attribute="*">

<Dataset id="Dataset1"/>

<Remove />

</Attribute>

</Attributes>

</Object>

<Object>

<Conditions>

<Attribute name="ClassName" pattern="EQUIPMENT" />

</Conditions>

<Attributes>

<Attribute attribute="Vendor">

<Dataset id="Dataset1"/>

<Remove />

</Attribute>

</Attributes>

</Object>

</ObjectMappings>

Note: The Dataset is assigned a ClassID of ‘DATASET’ if not defined in the mapping.
