VI. Mapping the fields
To make sure that you can sync all fields you want to/from CRM on Demand, the
mapping xml is needed. You can use mapping xml file to map the fields (and its
picklist values if there are any) to allow synchronization.
Here an example for Appointment field mapping:
<Appointment>
<Fields>
<Field>
<LotusField>Subject</ LotusField >
<OracleField>Subject</OracleField>
</Field>
<Fields>
<Appointment>

Some fields have picklists. Each picklist value has also to be mapped.
Here is the example for Appointment Type picklist
<MapValue FieldName=“Type">
<Map>
<LotusValue>3</LotusValue>
<OracleValue>Meeting</OracleValue>
</Map>
</MapValue>
