To run AtlasMap UI standalone:

  1. Obtain the most recent AtlasMap version number:

    1. Go to https://github.com/atlasmap/atlasmap/

    2. Scroll down to see the maven central icon with the latest version, for example: maven central 1.42.3.

  2. Download the AtlasMap standalone .jar file by invoking the wget command with the following format. Replace ${VERSION} with an actual version number.

    wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/atlasmap/atlasmap-standalone/${VERSION}/atlasmap-standalone-${VERSION}.jar
  3. Run AtlasMap standalone by invoking the java command with the following format:

    $ java -jar atlasmap-standalone-${VERSION}.jar

    For example:

    $ java -jar atlasmap-standalone-1.42.3.jar
    Note

    Although it is not a common situation, you can start AtlasMap and also load mapping definitions if you have an AtlasMap .adm file. An AtlasMap .adm file contains mapping definitions that were exported from AtlasMap. For example, suppose you want to start AtlasMap and import the /home/aslan/Downloads/atlas-mapping.adm file. Invoke a command such as the following:

    $ java -Datlasmap.adm.path=/home/aslan/Downloads/atlas-mapping.adm -jar atlasmap-standalone-1.42.3.jar
  4. In a browser, visit http://127.0.0.1:8585/ to see the AtlasMap data mapper canvas.

  5. Experiment with the data mapper:

    1. At the top of the Source panel, click Import to import a JSON or XML file that you can map fields from.

    2. At the top of the Target panel, click Import to import a different JSON or XML file that you can map fields to.

    3. To map fields:

      1. Navigate to a source field and click Create new napping.

        The Mapping Details panel will slide in from the right.

      2. Either:

        1. Navigate to a target field and click Connect to the selected mapping to add it to the selected mapping, or

        2. Drag and drop a target field on the source field to add the target field to the mapping.

    4. With a data mapping selected, explore the optional transformations.

    5. To preview a data mapping result, click Show Mapping Preview and enter sample data in source Mapping preview fields.

    6. To save your work, click the AtlasMap menu and select Export the current mappings and support files into a catalog (.adm)

      AtlasMap menu.

      Then choose a folder in which to save an AtlasMap .adm file. This file contains the mapping definitions.
