Source Structure Menu

Batch processing

Here you can efficiently change attributes of the structure. See section Batch Processing.

Delete structure completely

The complete source structure is deleted.

Open all nodes

Close all nodes

You can open or close all nodes of the source structure (see plus and minus symbols).

Load and show test data

Remove test data

In complex source data, it is often difficult to keep track. Therefore Lobster_data offers the possibility to fill the source structure with test data. You have access to stored files of the mapping test in the dialogue.

Recreate matchcodes

See section Checking and Creating Match Codes.

Load template

Here you can load internal (and client-specific) templates. See section Loading Template. See option Save as template.

Create structure from file analysis

See section Analyse File for Structure.

Save as template

Here you can create an internal (and client-specific) structure template. See section Loading Template. See option Load template.

Export structure as CSV

See section Structure Template in CSV Format.

Add special section for lists/maps

Allows you to insert a specialised node in the source structure.

Below this specialised node you can manually create sub nodes (with fields), which can then be filled with the values from lists or maps using functions copy list(s) to source tree(a,b,c,d) and copy map to source tree(a,b,c,[d],e) in the target structure.

In the target structure you can use your subnodes (and fields) like normal nodes. So this mechanism allows you to use contents of lists and maps directly in the mapping without reading them out in more complicated ways in the target structure. Note: You can copy your subnode completely into the target structure (with paths and field assignments) using the upper menu bar. Note: In a mapping test, the special node is not displayed in the source tree, but you'll find the values of lists and maps in tab Lists/Maps/Variables.

• Profile-copy_list_to_source_tree.pak (Optionally set parameter d in function copy list(s) to source tree(a,b,c,d) to true.)

• Profile-copy_list_to_source_tree_multilists.pak (Using multiple lists.)

• Profile-copy_map_to_source_tree_by_name.pak ( The field names below the subnode must be key names from the map, which then receive the values of the respective key-value pair. Exactly one node is created. )

• Profile-copy_map_to_source_tree_by_name_multivalues.pak (Variant, if the values in the map contain several values to be split.)

• Profile-copy_map_to_source_tree_as_sequence.pak (The key-value pairs are read out. This creates multiple nodes.)

• Profile-copy_map_to_source_tree_as_sequence_multivalues.pak (Variant, if the values in the map contain several values to be split.)
