Hi, Data-mapper configuration file that is generated from the tool is currently saved in .js (javascript) extension which is planned to be changed to an abstract file type (Let's say .mapconfig). This is mainly because, user does not need to be aware that the configuration is in javascript since we are not going to support reverse-engineering for manual changes done in the file.
Additionally, in order to populate data-mapper editor in developer studio, two other files (.datamapper and .datamapper_diagram) are generated automatically. These files are not known to the user yet they are compulsory to be present in the system to generate the design view. This becomes a concern when analyzing use case of 'importing an existing configuration from the file system'. Here, user browsing a xxx.mapconfig file from file system will not be sufficient as other two files are missing. What if we can come up with a compound file type which is obviously a zip type including .mapconfig, .datamapper and .datamapper_diagram in it? I hope this will solve the above problem as user can point the compound file directly.
