機能

• Support for Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB - MapForce supports mapping data to and from the most prevalent relational and NoSQL database types. MapForce 2025 adds support for Cosmos DB, a NoSQL database offered by Microsoft and used by default on the Azure platform.
• PDF Extractor: support for text search - The MapForce PDF Extractor now includes the ability to search for text in a document and define rules for processing data relative to the text.
  • This is especially useful in large PDF documents with numerous tables where you may only need to extract some of the data. For instance, when creating a template to extract data from yearly financial reports, you could search for 'Expenditures' and process the table of figures following that text accordingly. Granular search options such as case sensitivity, format filtering (font, font weight, etc.), and whole or partial word searches, allow for precise targeting.
  • The ability to pinpoint and extract only the relevant tables based on a text search streamlines template creation, especially when working with complex PDF documents.
• PDF Extractor: improved table detection - The MapForce PDF Extractor suggestion engine automatically detects tables that exist in your document, which you can then opt to extract automatically.
  • In MapForce 2025, table detection has been improved to detect more varieties of table formatting. For instance, the suggestion engine now detects tables without lines or with lines with varying thicknesses. These improvements make extracting data from PDFs for data integration even more flexible and streamlined.
• Support for OpenAPI definition of REST web services calls - MapForce supports calls to SOAP and RESTful web services for processing data in data integration and ETL projects. Setting up a REST web services call requires supplying details including the web service URL, a request method (e.g., GET, POST, PUT), request and response structures (e.g., XML, JSON, custom MIME types), and parameters. You can add this manually, by specifying a WADL file or URL that includes the details, and now by importing an OpenAPI definition.
  • The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) is a standardized format for defining and describing RESTful APIs. It provides a language-agnostic way to outline the structure, endpoints, request and response formats, parameters, authentication methods, and other aspects of an API.
  • When you specify the OpenAPI file that describes the web service you require, MapForce automatically processes the structure of the call and displays it as a graphical data mapping component. Removing the need for manual configuration significantly streamlines the process of integrating with web services.
• Auto-generation of EDIFACT CONTRL messages - MapForce has long supported EDIFACT and other popular EDI formats for data mapping. The EDIFACT standard includes the use of CONTRL messages to acknowledge the receipt of another message and to report any syntax or processing errors.
  • MapForce 2025 now supports auto-generation of such CONTRL messages when creating a data mapping project that includes an EDIFACT component: When you click Create Mapping to CONTRL from the right-click context menu, MapForce inserts an EDIFACT CONTRL component in your data mapping project with default connections automatically mapped.
  • This saves a significant amount of time previously spent manually creating such message mappings.
• Support for SWIFT 2024 - MapForce 2025 supports the most recent version of the SWIFT EDI standard in addition to numerous previous versions.
• Updated database support - MapForce supports connecting to the most popular SQL and NoSQL database systms for data mapping. In this release, updated support has been added for new versions:
  • MySQL 8.4
  • MariaDB 10.11, 11.2, 11.4
• Support for most recent Eclipse versions - MapForce supports seamless integration in the Eclipse IDE with new support added for versions:
  • 4.30
  • 4.31
  • 4.32
  • 4.33
