Download and customize the default configuration mapping
Once you add projects to your deployment and reach the analysis phase, you'll have the Download mapping and Customize mapping buttons. You'll spot them at the top right of the Analyze changes page in the deployment wizard. For the exact locations of the Download mapping and Customize mapping buttons, watch the gif below.

You can take this file and make changes to it or construct your own mapping file and apply it to the configuration. For this purpose, you need to upload a mapping file with transformations to the Customize mapping action. Check out the guidelines for customizing the configuration mapping.
You can also check out the following use case page on Appfire's website to find more useful information and view a demo of how to customize the configuration mapping.

To customize the default configuration mapping:
Start a deployment.
On the Analyze changes page, click the Download mapping button on the top right.
You will get a JSON file with the default mapping for all projects, configuration elements, and users in the deployment scope.
Modify the JSON file to correct problems or change the deployment option of an element. Check the guidelines about customizing the configuration mapping.
Click Customize mapping to upload the JSON file with the changes.
Review the number of changed elements in the dialog. If there are no elements with problems reported, click Confirm to apply the transformations from the file.
The video below shows how to upload and apply custom configuration mapping.Once you're done with the transformations, click Deploy to move on with the deployment. When the deployment is done, the transformations applied through the JSON file will be tracked in the /wiki/spaces/DCMCMT/pages/143393070.

After you click Confirm on the Customize mapping window, the CMJ Cloud performs a new analysis of the deployed configuration and applies the transformations from the file. |
