DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping Seven Association Mapping Scenarios The following 7 scenarios cover all association types in an object model: One-to-one bidirectional One-to-one unidirectional One-to-many bidirectional One-to-many unidirectional Many-to-one unidirectional Many-to-many bidirectional Many-to-many unidirectional

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping They all start the same…. Map the classes to the tables Map the attributes to the columns That’s the easy part…and it must be done first, then we can do the association mapping…. Associations are mapped to foreign key columns Business rules guide the mapping of associations

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping Scenario 1 – One-to-One Bidirectional Map classes & attributes Map association from child table’s class to the child table’s foreign key (ignore the other association) Leave this unmapped

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping Scenario 2 – One-to-One Unidirectional Map association from child table’s class to the child table’s foreign key Note that FK column must be in the originating class’s table

DRAFT 02-Feb Association on “one” end has a different color and is unmappable Map remaining association to table w/ foreign key Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping Scenario 3 – One-to-Many Bidirectional Unmappable

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping Scenario 4 & 5 – 1:M & M:1 Unidirectional One-to-many maps same as many-to-one, except for faked association See a pattern? Map association in class with table with FK to FK Ignore, unmappable

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping Not a Scenario – Many-to-One Bidirectional Note that many-to-one bidirectional is literally the same as one-to-many bidirectional No distinction in caAdapter Not considered a separate scenario

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping Scenario 6 – Many-to-Many Bidirectional ONLY time you map both associations Make sure to map the X-Collection to the X_id Intersection table does not need dependency mapping

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping Scenario 7 – Many-to-Many Unidirectional Back to normal pattern Map X-Collection to X_ID

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping Inheritance Mapping Map the attributes that are distinct to the subclass (as normal attribute mappings) For inherited attributes marked with the “(A – Derived)” label, only map if it’s the PK During validation, an “INFO” level message will be displayed Mapped Not mapped

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping Demonstration of Mapping Scenarios Live Demonstration of the Mapping Scenarios

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping General Tips – Using XMI Versions Note that you must have a version of EA that can export XMI v1.1 (XMI v2.0 is optional) caAdapter can load both XMI v1.1 and v2.0 for mapping and tagging. XMI v1.1 is required by the Semantic Integration Workbench (SIW)

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping General Tips – Updating Data/Object Models Once a mapping has been created, you can go back and change the object or data model without having to redo the entire mapping If model(s) must be changed… –Edit model(s) in the original EA file –Export the.xmi file again –Either use the same.xmi file name or remove the old file and use a new name –Open the.map file in caAdapter and select the new.xmi file when it prompted –Continue mapping as needed

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping General Tips – Choose 1 Mapping Method In the current release of caAdapter, you can’t start the mapping manually and then continue it in caAdapter Note that you can’t view manually created mappings in caAdapter either

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping General Tips – Sharing Files Must provide both the.map and the original.xmi The.map file contains a reference to the.xmi, including a file path Other user must put.xmi in same path as first user, or edit the.map file and change the path USE CAUTION if you edit the.map file!.map.xmi +

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping General Tips – Other Modeling Tips… Follow general caCORE SDK guidelines for modeling Any association with unspecified directionality will be treated as bidirectional by caCORE SDK Can’t do 3-way intersection table in caCORE SDK (or more ways!) To map a one-to-one unidirectional association, for the object that has the association attribute, the corresponding table must have the foreign key.

DRAFT 02-Feb Lesson 3: Advanced Mapping General Tips – Other Modeling Tips caAdapter adds a caCORE SDK-required tag on many-to-many associations, called “correlation- table” with value = name of intersection table (yes, this is on the object model whereas other tags are on data model) Other tags: “mapped-attribute”, “implements- association”, “inverse-of”
