The PCF Interface allows you to customize the default mapping and to add additional information to the PCF pipeline header and the PCF components. Adding information to PCF components can be accomplished by specifying PCF Component Attributes from inherited asset attributes. To assign attributes to the PCF pipeline header or perform more advanced operations such as exterrnal data lookup or performing string operations or other calculations, it is possible to instruct the interface to run a macro for the pipeline header and run a macro for each component in the PCF file. Click on the Advanced tab to configure these advanced options.

Adding Additional Information to PCF Header

To add additonal PCF Pipeline Header Attributes via a macro you must have a PCF header macro which performs the logic to add information based on the pipeline header. In order to create a PCF Header Macro you must be familiar with JScript and the Macro API.

To instruct the PCF interface to execute the PCF header macro, check the Execute Macro Checkbox and select the appropriate macro. Please note that only macros of type PCF header macro will be listed.

Adding Additional Information to PCF Component

To add additional PCF Component Attributes to each component in the PCF file via a macro you must have a PCF component macro, which performs the logic to add information based on PCF component information. The PCF component macro will be executed for each PCF component. To create a PCF Component Macro you must be familiar with JScript and the Macro API.

To instruct the PCF interface to execute the PCF component macro, check the Exceute Macro Checkbox and select the appropriate macro. Please note that only macros of type PCF header macro will be listed.

Override Default Mapping

The V_Suite CORE to PCF interface presents you with default Symbol Key Mapping Options. This mapping is based on default templates and component types. You can configure the interface to override this mapping by modifying existing mapping or adding new mapping options. To override the default mapping, create a symbol key mapping file. To instruct the PCF interface to use the custom mapping file, check the Override Default Checkbox and locate the mapping file.

If you provided multiple mapping options in your mapping file you will be able to set these on the PCF Symbol Mapping page of the wizard.
