Filtering of Elements/Attributes in Target Data

You can filter elements or attributes from appearing in the target XML. There are two ways to filter data:

1. Using IFF Condition

2. Using Apply Filter checkbox from right-click popup menu

   The Apply Filter checkbox method is recommended as it is easy to use and can be done individually on multiple nodes, directly from the data mapper applet.

Using Apply Filter Checkbox
 

Steps to filter using Apply Filter Checkbox

1. Ensure that the source and target schemas are loaded and all their elements are listed under their respective nodes.

2. Right-click the target element that you want to filter, and mark the Apply Filter checkbox as checked (see Figure 555). By default, this checkbox is disabled.

3. This selection will filter the selected element from the target output XML data. You can uncheck this checkbox anytime to display the element in the target data.

You can apply this filtering option on the element or attribute levels. Once the filter is applied on the target element, the letters (FL) are displayed next to each filtered target element. This signifies that the filter has been applied for the target element. Refer to Table of Suffixes for details on suffixes displayed next to an element.
