Internal Access – Message Mapping View

This part of the Message Mapping view is used to map ASCET messages to AUTOSAR interrunnable variables.

Top Bar

• information field

  Shows whether message mapping is complete (), incomplete (), or contains invalid mappings ().

• Update

  Updates the instances of the SenderReceiver interfaces, records, classes and modules, i.e. imports changes in these components into the SWC AUTOSAR software component (singular; plural is SWCs).

• Auto-Mapping

  This button maps all unmapped messages to scalar interrunnable variables or elements of Record interrunnable variables with identical type and names that match the pattern in the combo box.

• combo box for auto-mapping pattern

  In this combo box, you determine the pattern used for automatic mapping. See Automatic Mapping for details.

• 

  Opens the ASCET options window in the Appearance\Editors\Software Component node. In that node, you can adjust the patterns available for automatic mapping.

• /

  Shows () or hides () the upper table.

Upper Table

• Messages column

  This column lists all unmapped messages from the SWC itself and all modules directly or indirectly used in the software component. The messages are displayed as follows:

  exported or imported messages	<message>
  local messages	self.<module>[.<nested module>...].<message>

  • input field and button above the column

    You can enter a text string in the input field and then click to filter the list of available messages by name. The filter is case-insensitive; it finds all messages whose names contain the text string.

  • properties filter above the column

    Opens the Filter Criteria dialog window, which allows filtering the list by selected properties.

    An active type filter is indicated by a green overlay icon on both filter buttons:

  An active filter is indicated by a green overlay icon: Click the button to remove the filter.

• Variables column

  This column lists all unmapped elements (scalar interrunnable variables, data elements of complex interrunnable variables, data elements of records in SenderReceiver interfaces) that are available for mapping. The elements are displayed as follows:

  interrunnable variables	<element>
  elements in complex interrunnable variables	<record>[.<nested record>...].<element>

  Note
  Complex elements of nested records (record A contains record B, which contains record C, etc.) used as interrunnable variables are not listed.

  • input field, properties filter and button above the column

    The same as in the Messages column.

• context menu (upper table)

  • Update

    Updates the instances of the SenderReceiver interfaces, records, classes and modules, i.e. imports changes in these components into the SWC.

  • Auto-Mapping

    Maps all unmapped messages to interrunnable variables with identical type and matching name.

Button

Maps a message selected in the Message column to an interrunnable variable selected in the Variables column.

Mapping field – Lower Table

• input field, properties filter and button

  The same as in the Messages column in the upper table.

• Messages column

  This column lists all messages from the SWC itself and all modules directly or indirectly used in the software component.

• icon column

  This column contains icons that represent the mapping status.

  	The message is unmapped.
  	Mapping is valid: the message is mapped to a suitable interrunnable variable or SenderReceiver interface port.
  	Mapping is invalid, e.g., because the type of the interrunnable variable or port changed after mapping.

• Variables column

  This column shows the interrunnable variables or SenderReceiver interface ports mapped to the messages in the Messages column of the Mapped field. The elements are displayed as in the upper Variables column.

  If no mapping exists (–––), the Messages column can be used to perform mapping. A double-click in a table cell opens a list of all suitable calibration parameters.

  Unsaved changed mappings are indicated by blue font.

  

• context menu (lower table)

  • Edit

    Opens the list of available interrunnable variables for selection.

  • Remove (<Delete>)

    Removes an existing mapping.

  • Remove All

    Removes all existing mappings.

  • Revert Changes

    Reverts unsaved mapping changes.

  • Toggle Pages (<Ctrl> + <Shift> + <t>)

    Switches between the Internal Access and External Access tabs.

  • Create Interrunnable

    Creates a new interrunnable variable for a selected message, and maps it.

  • Auto-Mapping

    Maps all unmapped messages to interrunnable variables with identical type and matching name.

  • Export

    Opens the Export Settings dialog window where you can export mappings to an *.xml or *.csv file.

  • Import

    Imports mappings from an *.xml or *.csv file.

  • Create ASCET Link

    Creates an ASCET link for the selected source or target of a mapping, or the selected entire mapping. The link opens the component in the software component editor, opens the Internal Mapping tab in the Message Mapping view and highlights the mapping part or mapping.

The context menu options of the lower table are also available in the Mapping menu.
