BIS Mapping Designer

Information: If you did not work with the BIS Mapping Designer before, we strongly recommend to take at least one of our training courses: BIS Mapping Designer Basics, BIS Mapping Designer Advanced and SEEXML.

This is also useful if you are used to working with the BIC Mapping Designer because both mapping designer tools are working differently.

> Training courses

To operate the BIS Mapping Designer, you need to install, configure and maintain the BIS Mapping Designer on your local machine. The installation files are delivered on a separate ISO image and ship a Java runtime for Windows operating systems (64-bit versions for AMD/Intel x64 compatible platforms). You will find the BIS Mapping Designer within the BIS Developer Studio on this ISO image.

Information: Depending on your user rights, the installation may be found in Windows (C:) > User > User name > AppData or in the Windows (C:) > Programs folder.

There is no source code repository included in the iPaaS system. However, for working in teams, you can connect the BIS Developer Studio to a standard source code repository, for example Git.

> Deploying mappings on the iPaaS BIS

You can define the mapping strategy yourself but we strongly recommend to follow the double conversion approach by using SEEXML as canonical format. Therefore, a SEEXML training is required.

    You can:

  • develop/change process mappings

  • develop/change direct mappings

  • develop/change custom partner mappings

You can request the development of process mappings at SEEBURGER. You can also request standard partner mappings at SEEBURGER. All SEEBURGER standard mappings will be delivered as compiled solutions. They can only be developed/changed by SEEBURGER.

Note: If you want to use SEEBURGER partner mappings, please make a change request in the Service Desk. The partner mappings will then be sent to you via email.

Information: The BIS Mapping Designer can be used in parallel to the BIC Mapping Designer because both tools cover different use cases. In the long term, the BIS Mapping Designer will replace the BIC Mapping Designer. Currently, the mappings from the BIC Mapping Designer cannot be transferred into the BIS Mapping Desinger. They must be created again.

You can find user manuals for the BIS Mapping Designer in the app Documentation in your BIS Portal. Search for the manuals Developer Studio/BIS Mapping Designer.
