Map identical structures in transformations in Jitterbit Integration Studio

Introduction

Use automapping to quickly map source and target fields that have matching names and compatible data types.

Automapping matches fields based on these criteria:

  • Field names must match exactly (case-insensitive).

  • Field structures must be identical.

  • Data types must be the same or compatible.

For example, a source integer field maps to a target string field because the types are compatible.

Map all matching fields

Follow these steps to automatically map all matching fields in your transformation:

  1. Click Automap in the top right of the target structure.
  2. Click Automap Exact matches.

All fields with exact name matches are mapped automatically.

Map fields within specific nodes

Follow these steps to map fields within specific nodes only:

  1. Drag a source node to a target node.

  2. Click Automap in the menu that appears:

    Node automapping option

Only fields within the node is mapped:

Note

When using automapping, note these considerations:

  • Automapping runs once. It doesn't update if you change the schemas later.
  • Automapping adds to existing mappings rather than replacing them. This might create invalid mappings that need manual correction.

After automapping, review the results and complete these tasks:
