Altova MapForce Basic Edition

Data mapping is the process of creating data element mappings between two distinct data models. Data mapping is used as a first step for a wide variety of data integration tasks including data transformation or data mediation, identification of data relationships, the discovery of hidden sensitive data or the consolidation of multiple databases into a single database. This wide variety of uses makes having a data mapping tool increasingly desirable, and that is where Altova MapForce comes into the picture.

Without going into details, the process of data mapping itself is achieved quite easily, as all you have to do is open your source and target XML file, drop in data processing functions from the libraries, and drag connecting lines between the elements you wish to associate.  Data can also be split into multiple files, and you can even use file names as parameters in your mappings with the help of this tool's support for wildcard characters. Altova MapForce also comes equipped by default with a set of popular functions, such as filters, concatenate, sum, etc, allowing you the opportunity to perform a wide variety of operations easily.

Aside from the data mapping function itself, there are plenty of other operations you can use Altova MapForce for, such as graphical data mapping design which is coupled with data integration and data processing functions. You can also use it as an interactive data mapper, debugger, XML mapper, JSON data converter, text and flat file and Excel mapping and much more. Since this tool comes installed as part of the Altova StyleVision suite, it allows you to render all of your outputted data into attractive HTML, Word, or PDF reports.

Altova MapForce is a straightforward way to perform XML-to-XML data mappings and helps you increase the speed and efficiency of data integration projects, making it an overall great addition to your PC's digital library.
