Edit a Translation Table

The metrics for editing translation tables are as follows:

• The name of a translation table can be edited only when all of its registered adapters are inactive (have been stopped).
• Only inactive adapters can be moved to and from the list of registered adapters.
• The source fields and destination type can be modified only when the table is empty (meaning, it has no translation entries) and all of its registered adapters are inactive. This is usually done before the table is put into use.
• The translation table description may be modified at any time.

You can edit the details of a translation table by pressing next to the translation table name. Any changes made are saved when Save is clicked in the Translation Table Details page.

To edit a translation table:

1. In the Translation Tables page, click next to the translation table name. The Translation Table Details page is displayed.
2. In Description, enter a description for this translation table.
3. In Registered Adapters, select the adapters(s) that should be associated with this translation table from the Available list and move to the Member list. Select multiple adapters to share the entries that will be added to this translation table. Doing this eliminates the need to define identical tables for different adapters. If no adapters are selected, the translation table can be saved, but entries are not added to it automatically.

   Note: Only inactive adapters can be selected for the Member list. For more information, see Stopping an Adapter.

4. Click Save to save changes and return to the previous page.
5. Click Cancel to discard changes and return to the previous page.
6. Click Delete to remove the translation table.
7. Click Delete Entries to delete all translation entries for the translation table in one step.

Note: The Assigned Translation Script grid lists the Translation Scripts which are assigned to the Translation Table. To use the optimized New Pending Translation Entries algorithm, the Run on New Entries column should display "Yes" for only one Translation Script (and which does not use additional filters). If the optimized algorithm cannot be used, a warning message may be displayed.
