Maps are basically use to wrap the tables on run time.Some times there are some cases in which the structure of two or more tables is same with difference in their field names.In these kind of cases the field.
The fields of the maps are basically use to map fields of one or more tables.By the help of a maps we can access the fields of one or more tables with different names.
Steps of Creating the Maps:
For showing the implementation of table maps I have just created the two tables.As you can see them in the below image.
After that I will create the map on which I will map the fields of the above tables.
Just go to the Data Dictionary -> Maps right click and than select new map.
Now add fields to this map.As you can see them in the below image.
Now right click the mapping node and than select the new mapping and than set the name of the table on which you want to map.
As you can see this in the below image.
Now right click the fields inside that mapping and then set them to the fields of the table on which you are mapping.As you can see this in the below image.
Now I have created a job on which I will map a table on this map and than use it.
You can see that job in the below image.
In the above table I have map the studentA table to our map i,e studentcourse at run time and than I have set the fields of that map and than insert them.As you already know that in the above code the studentA table is already mapped to our map that is why after the insert call the data will insert into the studentA table.
My the help of Maps you can perform any operation you want as you do on table.
This was all related to the AOT Maps.
