Overview
WHPRCMAP models the metadata for data mapping processes in the SAS/Warehouse
Administrator Process Editor A data mapping is a metadata record used to generate or
retrieve a routine that maps columns from one or more data sources into one or more data tables, detail tables, OLAP tables, or OLAP MDDBs Common mappings include one-to-one (one data source to a target table), joins (one or more data sources merged by one or more common columns), and unions (two or more data sources appended to a target table) Here is one way to add a data mapping process in SAS/Warehouse Administrator:
1 In the Explorer, select a detail table or a data table with the right mouse button
2 Select Process from the pop-up menu.
3 In the Process Editor, select the table with the right mouse button
4 Select
5 Enter the mapping information
Properties
The following table lists all of the properties for WHPRCMAP and indicates how you can use each property with metadata API methods
In the table, you can specify properties with a Yes in the Indirect Add column when
you indirectly add one object through another, as described in the documentation for the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method Use this approach to add a new dependent object For details, see “Using _UPDATE_METADATA_” on page 46
You can pass properties with a Yes in the Update column to the
_UPDATE_METADATA_ method, as described in the documentation for this method Use this method to update properties of an existing object For details, see “Using _UPDATE_METADATA_” on page 46
* Req indicates that the property is required; you must provide a value for this
property when you use a given method * Default indicates that the system will provide
a default value for that property if you do not provide one * Auto supplied means that
the property is automatically supplied; any value that you specify for such a property is ignored
Properties with a Yes in the Read Method Expand Parm column are valid with the
expand parameter of the _GET_METADATA_ method This method enables you to get
detailed metadata about a property and its associated objects through a single method call
Expand Parm.

New Types for WHPRCPST are as follows:
PROCESS specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the load process to which this post-load process belongs This list must be a subtype of WHPRCLDR SOURCE FILE
specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about any user-registered code for a process This list must be of type WHSRCCAT or a subtype of
WHSRCCAT WHJOBCAT or any subtype of WHJOBCAT will be rejected, however For process steps that consist of user-written code, this property returns the registered source code location For process steps that consist of code that is generated by SAS/Warehouse Administrator, this property will return an empty list

Overview
WHPRCREC models the metadata for record selector processes in SAS/Warehouse
