Fuser Database Input Mapping Table


Overview

This page describes documents the mapping between the output of the Processors and the elements in the Core Fuser database. The Fuser creates a single file or "object" for each flight it is tracking using a a common schema. The Flight Object has a set of core attributes that are common to all flight stored in the Fuser database. Each flight object may also have a attributes contained in extensions that are specific to a data source. More information on the Fuser and how to processes data, can be found here. The tables below describing the mapping from the data sources to the single format used to store flight objects in the Fuser database. Tables describing the mappings which utilize extension attributes can be found here.


The tables below describing the mapping from the data sources to the Fuser Flight core attributes. 

For example, the Fuser Flight aircraft type attribute is a string that can be set based on the following fields in each data source:

  • TFM Flight Transfer message - the aircraftType attribute
  • TBFM flight update - the tmaType.air.flt.Typ attribute
  • SMES Messages - the aircraftType attribute.

Some of these updates can also have multiple sources of information.
