DataObjectMapping

The mapping between a source and target data set, table, or file. The DataObjectMapping defines an individual source-to-target mapping (an ETL process). It connects one or more DataObject sources to a single DataObject target, with DataItemMappings describing the column-to-column transformations. SourceDataObjects, TargetDataObject, and DataItemMappings are the core elements of a DataObjectMapping.

dataItems	array of DataItem	The collection of Data Items specifically associated with this Data Object Mapping, used as sources or targets in the mapping or its business key component mappings.
dataItemMappings	array of DataItemMapping	The collection of individual attribute (column or query) mappings.
businessKeyDefinitions	array of BusinessKeyDefinition	The definition of the Business Key(s) for the Data Object Mapping.
filterCriterion	string	Any filtering that needs to be applied to the source-to-target mapping.
