Syntactic Mapping Configuration

Overview

This topic explains how to work with RhinoDHE Syntactic Mapping configurations in JSON format.

A Syntactic Mapping defines how source fields map to target fields, including any transformations that should be applied during the harmonization process. You can create and edit these mappings directly in the Rhino FCP UI or view, download, edit, and upload the same configuration in JSON format.

The JSON format is simply an alternative representation of the Syntactic Mapping configuration and supports the same mapping and transformation capabilities available in the FCP UI.

Prerequisites

You must have the "Manage Data Mappings" permission.
