Creating the transform map

The transform map acts as a link between the columns in the import set table and the target (destination) table. The target table may have more or fewer columns compared to the columns in the import set table.

The transform map can either be created manually using the map assist tool or else using the automap matching fields feature that relies on matching column names.
