Hello all. I have recently started tinkering around with the CRM
deployment manager and have found where you can edit the mappings from one
schema to the next. I'm assuming that this is so that when you decide to
turn/map one "record" into another, the fields you choose here in these
mappings "map" across to the new record.

Is it possible, then, to actually run a mapping? So that if I, say, make
a mapping of some schema A to some schema B, that I can actually run that
mapping and have all of the records get created for schema B out of schema
A? Can I do this from within this console?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Ben

Mapping a field from one object to another will populate a
field value in a newly-created "related record" with the
value from the source object.

Example: Account address info is mapped to Contact. When
you create a related contact for a specific account the
account's address information populates the contact
automatically. Mapped fields must be of the same type
(map a string to a string, a picklist to a picklist, etc.)

Updates at the Account have NO effect on related Contact
records.

To "Run" a mapping, from the application you need to
create an Account with mapped values and then create a
related contact.

If I'm creating accounts and contacts from the SDK - how do I ensure that I
am creating a "related" contact? Account.AddSubContact()?
