Working With Mapping Files
Mapping files control how FME converts data from the selected source format to the selected destination format. FME will read the file from the location specified in the mapping file specification you create, and then use that information to perform the translation. In most cases, customized mapping files contain further translation and transformation operations for FME to perform.
Note:Tip: To immediately start a translation, double-click the mapping file.
