Select your map definition file. Click Next.
NOTE: Only the first 500 rows of the map appear in the interface.
8 In the New Map Definition window, set the following:
 Delimiter: (pipe, comma, semicolon and so on) of data in rows of the map data source
file
 Start at row: The number of rows to skip from the top of the map data source file.
 Column names
 Column types: The currently supported column types are:
 String: A string is a group of characters used as a single object by a computer. A
string might consist of a single letter, word or number. The word FINANCE or IP
Address 192.168.2.40 might be a string. A string can also consist of a combination of
words, spaces, and numbers. The street address of 1313 LION DOG TOWER could
be a string.
Number Range: A number range (NumberRange) is a range of numbers. For

example, 10 to 200 are represented as 10-200. To use the range map functionality, a
map definition must have exactly one key column and the key column must be of
type NumberRange. If there are any other key columns, or the key column is of a
different type, the mapping service will not consider the map a range map.
Active columns: When a column is marked as active, the data in the column will be

distributed to processes using maps. All key columns must be active. Only active columns
(but not key columns) can be selected as the Map Column under the Event Configuration
tab.
Key columns: A key is a unique identifier for the row of data in the map data. If more

than one column is selected as a key, the overall key of the map will include all of the
columns selected as keys.
