UDMAttributesToAP242Attributes Configuration

The <UDMAttributesToAP242Attributes> section defines the mapping between UDM attribute names and their corresponding AP242 attributes for XML export.

This mapping is critical for ensuring semantic consistency during the transformation of UDM content into AP242-compliant structures.

Purpose

The purpose of the <UDMAttributesToAP242Attributes> section is to:
  • Control which UDM attributes are written into the AP242 XML.
  • Enable precise translation of known attributes for compatibility with AP242 consumers.
  • Provide the option to export either only mapped attributes or all available attributes.

Attribute: outputMappedAttributesOnly

Table 1.
Value Behavior
true (default) Only attributes explicitly mapped in this section will be included in the AP242 output.
false All UDM attributes will be exported to AP242, even if not mapped (not recommended).

Current Configuration

<UDMAttributesToAP242Attributes outputMappedAttributesOnly="true">
</UDMAttributesToAP242Attributes>
Currently, no UDM attributes are mapped. As a result, no attributes will be included in the AP242 export unless mappings are added.

Example Configuration

<UDMAttributesToAP242Attributes outputMappedAttributesOnly="true">
  <UDMAttributeToAP242Attribute>
    <UDMAttribute>HW_Thickness</UDMAttribute>
    <AP242Attribute>ap242:thickness</AP242Attribute>
  </UDMAttributeToAP242Attribute>
</UDMAttributesToAP242Attributes>
This example maps the UDM HW_Thickness attribute to an AP242 attribute called ap242:thickness.

Best Practices

  • Use outputMappedAttributesOnly="true" unless you’ve coordinated full exports with your AP242 consumers.
  • Map only relevant and semantically meaningful attributes — avoid dumping internal metadata.
  • Coordinate naming conventions and namespaces with downstream tools consuming AP242.
