Column names: Specify the column name.
Column types: The currently supported column types are:
Active columns: When a column is marked as active, the data in the column is distributed
to processes by 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 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 includes all of the columns selected
as keys.
Column filtering: A row can be explicitly included or excluded based on matching
criteria for a particular column. This can be used to exclude rows from the map source
data that are not needed or will interfere with your mapping.
As you configure each setting and filter, the data table automatically updates to allow you to
preview your data and to ensure that your data is being parsed as expected.
10 After you finish configuring all parameters and filters for the definition, click Finish.

String: 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 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 if the key column is of a different type, the mapping service does not
consider the map to be a range map.
