MappingSpecificationType (Complex Type)

Namespace: http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3

Specification of a mapping, typically used to identify the mapping that provided a particular focus value. Note that we often are interested not only in a given mapping as such (as a piece of configuration), but in the execution of the mapping in a specific context, yielding a particular value. Some examples: 1. Execution of a mapping defined in a resource template inherited by multiple resources, or in an object type inherited by multiple specific object types. The provenance metadata attached to values produced by this mapping should point not only to the mapping as such, but to specific context in which the mapping was executed: specific resource and/or specific object type. Otherwise (with a default provenance-based mapping ranges), the values originating in individual executions of the mapping, would get overwritten by their siblings. Said in other words, each mapping execution should have its own range. 2. Execution of a mapping against multiple shadows (in a multi-accounts resource). Again, by default, each of the shadows - differentiated by shadow tag values - should have its own mapping range.
