About table mapping
Mapping tables is the process of making external customer or system tables accessible in Unica Campaign.
A table mapping is the metadata that is used to define a base, dimension, or general table. It contains information on the data source, the table name and location, the table fields, audience levels, and data. Table mappings can be stored for re-use in table catalogs.
The following capabilities are provided for table mappings:
- By default, all the table mappings defined in the parent interactive channel will be inherited. (Including dimension tables)
- Users cannot edit, un-map, or add a new dimension table to inherited table mapping in the child interactive channel.
- Users can either reuse existing table mapping or can define a new table mapping in the child interactive channel.
- The inherited table mapping from the parent interactive channel will be serialized and deployed to run-time if not defined in the current interactive channel.
- In the case of reloading to design time, the table mappings will not be considered if inherited from parent interactive channels.
