Reference Data

Reference data is often required to facilitate the transformation process. An example is the need to translate account codes from a legacy system to match accounts in CA Service Catalog. In such a case, you can match accounts in the following ways:

• You can customize the user interface to add a field for the legacy account code in CA Service Catalog. This option is best to use when the mapping information is static and can be maintained through data entry.
• You can use a reference table. This option may be required if the mapping data is dynamic and maintained outside of CA Service Catalog.
