Before you start

SmartMapper requires three things:

1. A completed ReplaceMagic scan

The scan must exist for the RunID you want to process. It records every link found in your documents, together with an inventory of the documents themselves.

2. Mapping rules for that same RunID

Without them SmartMapper stops immediately and reports:

*** No MappingRules defined for RunID 12 - define mapping rules (Source -> Target)

    for this run before generating. Nothing to do.

This is a safeguard. Without rules the run would complete normally and silently produce nothing, which is far more confusing than a clear stop.

3. The database used by ReplaceMagic

SmartMapper reads the scan and writes the keys into the same database. SQL Server, SQLite and MySQL are supported and behave identically.
