Is it possible to replace the Data Mapping used in a Template? I have an XML data model I used to create a template. The supplier of the data changed the format slightly which in itself is not an issue. It is the fact that ALL of the XML tags have been changed to new names. Can I create a new data model and import it into the template?
If yes, can I just delete all of the old scripts and placeholders and place new ones?
Thanks!
Better than that, you can simply open the new data file in the current DataMapper (on the left side of your DataMapper screen, you have a pane that says Data Samples), click on the little sheet button with a green plus sign and add your new data file.
Once that is done and after restabilising your data (through the steps pane) if need be, simply drag the newly named fields on the old one (assuming that the date field is still a date field for example) and it will work…if they are new fields, do the extraction as usual.
Simply do not delete the old and unused one unless you are sure they are of no use anymore.
Hope that helps
