Specifying your own mapping

If you want to set up your own mappings, indicate that you want to edit the To template by selecting the Edit template mapping option on the To panel for the relevant FM/Db2 function. If you select this option, FM/Db2 displays the Template Mapping panel (see Template Mapping panel).

Note that, in Template Mapping panel, there is no From columns against the To columns RID and TSTAMP. This shows that, for these two columns in the To template, there is no corresponding column in the From template. When the table is copied, FM/Db2 creates new values in RID and TSTAMP.
