Manipulating a customer database with MapForce 2010.

Altova MapForce is a graphical XML data mapping tool for converting XML data in one format to any another XML format. Using the Altova MapForce visual interface, you simply draw data mappings between XML Schemas and add data processing rules, and MapForce converts the data instantly. Altova MapForce also auto-generates royalty-free XSLT 1.0 or 2.0 transformation code for use in recurrent conversions.

The following editions are available:

• Altova MapForce 2010 Enterprise Edition - Installed Users
• Altova MapForce 2010 Enterprise Edition - Concurrent Users
• Altova MapForce 2010 Professional Edition - Installed Users
• Altova MapForce 2010 Professional Edition - Concurrent Users
• Altova MapForce 2010 Standard Edition - Installed Users
• Altova MapForce 2010 Standard Edition - Concurrent Users

Updates in 2010 Release 3

• MSXML6 support in C++ (Professional and Enterprise editions only)
  MapForce has upgraded its C++ code generator from MSXML4 to MSXML6, the latest Microsoft release that is shipped with Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows XP Service Pack 3. This adds to the quality of C++ code generated from MapForce mappings, making it less likely to require any modifications before being integrated into other applications or reused for recurrent transformations.
• 64-bit code generation in C++ (Professional and Enterprise editions only)
  MapForce is now able to generate C++ build configurations for 64-bit applications. As the number of 64-bit environments on the market steadily increases, this will slowly become a necessity for any generated or hand written code.
• Support for xsi:nil in XML Schema (all editions)
  The xsi:nil attribute, or "nillable attribute", in indicates that an element is present in the XML, but that it has no value, and therefore no content is associated with it. This is used to override the element type defined in XML Schema in cases when no element data is provided or necessary. MapForce is now able to execute mappings where this attribute is used.
• Support for mapping field names (headers) in Excel 2007+ (Enterprise edition only)
  This is a time saving feature for Excel 2007+ mappings. This feature can be used in two different ways: When mapping to an Excel 2007 target, users can automatically populate the headings of their output files with column annotations given in the Select range of cells dialog (shown below). When mapping from an Excel 2007 source file, MapForce will use the first row data as column annotations
• Ability to preserve value formatting in XML output (all editions)
  Until now, MapForce was unable to preserve value formatting when outputting to an XML file because of the internal mechanism that was used for mapping validation. It is now possible to turn this functionality off, ensuring that formatting is maintained from source to target. This is especially useful for scenarios using number values like 001, for example, when it is important to keep the configuration as dictated in the source file rather than stripping off the zeros.
• Support for SAP IDoc (Enterprise edition only)
  IDoc is a standard data structure for EDI within SAP business systems or between one SAP application and an external program. MapForce now supports mapping the IDoc format in the same way it supports conversion based on other EDI formats (X12, EDIFACT, and HL7). In the case of IDoc, however, the user will need to supply the configuration file that defines the format of the data.
• Support for Visual Studio 2010 (Professional and Enterprise editions only)
  MapForce now integrates with the newest release of Visual Studio, Visual Studio 2010.
