Data Translation

The Data Translation facility allows you to manipulate and replace data from the source datasource as it is being transferred to the destination datasource. 

To define a Data Translation rule follow the steps below:

1.       From within the Table Map Properties form click on the Data Translation… button to open the Data Translation Properties form.

2.       To add a new Data Translation record click on the Add … TranslationID button.  This will create a new entry line at the bottom of the existing entries.

3.       Using the ColumnID drop-down menu select the column the data to be translated will be transferred from.

4.       Input the value that will be found in the datasource column directly into the OriginalValue field. 

5.       Input the value the original value is to be substituted with directly into the ReplacementValue field. 

6.       Click on the Close button to save the new Data Translation Properties record close the form.

Note: existing records can be amended by simply replacing the current field values.
