Check In Maps

About this task

To use maps in Sterling B2B Integrator, you must first check them in from your client computer to Sterling B2B Integrator. You can check in a map (.mxl or .map) alone. If you check in a translation object (.txo) or a compiled XML encoder object (.ltx), you must also check in the corresponding source map.

Source maps are available in Sterling B2B Integrator for research purposes. Also if you want to edit a map, you can check out any type of map and Sterling B2B Integrator displays the .mxl or .map version, which you can edit in the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor. Translation objects (.txo) and XML encoder objects (.ltx) can be used by the Translation service after the objects are checked in and activated.

To check a map in to Sterling B2B Integrator:

Procedure

From the Sterling B2B Integrator Deployment menu, select Maps.
In the Check-in section, click Go!
To check in a source map (.mxl or .map), either type the path to the map in the Map filename box or click Browse, locate the map on your local disk, and click Open. The map name must not have spaces or apostrophes in it.
Note: A WTX map must be compiled on the platform on which you will be checking in and using the map. Only compiled WTX maps can be checked in. WTX source maps cannot be checked in.
To check in a translation object (.txo) or XML encoder object (.ltx), either type the path to the map in the Compiled Map filename box or click Browse, locate the map on your local disk, and click Open. The map name must not have spaces or apostrophes in it.
In the Check-in Comments field, type the appropriate comments and click Next. This field is required.
Note: Use the Check-in Comments field to note the purpose of the map or explain the changes made to it.
If you are checking in a translation object (.txo) or XML encoder object (.ltx) and you do not want the map to be enabled, clear the Enable for Business Processes check box.
For more information about enabling and disabling maps, see Enable or Disable Translation Objects and XML Encoder Objects.
Review the settings for the map you are checking in and click Finish to apply your changes.
