DATA MAPPING AND IMPORT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a source file including a plurality of data records, each data record comprising a sequence of data segments associated with source data;
identifying a target data structure comprising a plurality of target fields, based on a class associated with the target data structure;
defining a mapping format comprising associations between each of the data segments for the plurality of data records and a target field of the plurality of target fields; and
importing the source data from each of the data segments of each of the plurality of data records into the target field associated with each data segment based on the mapping format and the class.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method related to a data mapping and import system is disclosed. A source file including a plurality of data records may be received, each data record comprising a sequence of data segments associated with source data. A target data structure comprising a plurality of target fields to which to import the source data of the source file may be identified. A mapping format comprising associations between each of the data segments for the plurality of data records and a target field of the plurality of target fields. And the source data from each of the data segments of each of the plurality of data records may be imported into the target field associated with each data segment based on the mapping format.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving a selection of a source file including a plurality of data records, each data record comprising a sequence of data segments associated with source data; determining one or more classes identifying one or more target data structures, based on a mapping format associated with the source data, the one or more target data structures comprising a plurality of target fields; identifying one or more of the target fields, to which to import the source data of the source file, based on the mapping format; and importing the source data of the source file into the target fields of the one or more target data structures based on the mapping format, the mapping format comprising, for each of the data segments for the plurality of data records, associations between each data segment and a target field of the one or more target fields, wherein the source data of each data segment for each data record is imported into the target field associated with the data segment. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
a data parser configured to determine a sequence of data segments associated with each of a plurality of data records of a source file based on an identification of a separator separating a first data segment from a second data segment, each data segment including source data; a target locator configured to identify one or more target data structures, including one or more target fields associated therewith, based on one or more classes associated with the one or more target data structures; a mapping definition engine configured to determine a mapping format including an association between each of the data segments of the sequence and one or more of the target fields; and an import engine configured to import the source data from the source file to the target fields of the one or more data structures based on the mapping format. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
