About this task

To open a map or several maps at one time:

Procedure

  1. From the File menu, select Open.
  2. In the Open dialog box, select one .mxl or .map file, or select several files by one of the following methods:
    • Hold Shift as you select a range of files.
    • Hold Ctrl as you select individual files.
      Note: If the Open dialog box does not display .mxl or .map files, browse to the folder where your maps are located. Later, you can change the default folder that opens when you browse for maps. For more information, see Change the Default Folder in the Open Dialog Box.
  3. Click Open. When you load an .mxl file, the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor references the Mapper.xsd schema file (installed with the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor) to validate the .mxl file prior to processing it. Prior to opening an .mxl (XML-formatted) file, the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor verifies that you have the Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) installed on the same computer as Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor. If you do not have the Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) installed, the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor cannot save or load .mxl source files.
    Note: When you open a Sterling Gentran:Server® For UNIX orSterling Gentran:Server For Microsoft Windows map in Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor, you need to save it as a Sterling B2B Integrator type map. See Define Map Details for more information.
