Project - Translation

A special section of the Portal shows what we call Value Sets.

A Value Set is a table containing data organized in columns and rows. Using Studio, the user defines the columns of the Values Set, giving their names and data types. Once defined, a Value Set is used by Rules to look up values or - in the case of manually implemented rules - in a way needed.

Marked in the mapping as a Translation Table this enables users in the migration project (for instance users from the involved businesses) to provide the content for these Values Sets, normally to provide translations of terms and values in the source system to the target system.

An option is provided for functionality external to migFx to read these Translation Tables and to write back a validation state (ok or faulty) combined with a validation message. This is useful to ensure that values manually provided by users actually are correct in terms of the receiving target system.

The Translation tab shows the Value Sets from Studio that were marked as Translation. The Portal displays the Value Sets depending on what has been selected in the Partition dropdown.

Translation Value Set deals with the translation of code values in the Source System to code values in the Target System, the utility can be used to validate that the code values for the Target System do actually exist.

The illustration above shows an option to ignore a Translation Values Set as part of a migration.
