Map List Reports

You can use the Map List Report to obtain a listing of maps categorized by map name or by map types.

The Map List Report enables you obtain a listing of maps categorized by map name or by one of the following map types:
  • Draft (if you check in the source map only but not the compiled translation object)
  • Draft XML (if you check in the source XML file but not the compiled translation object)
  • Translation
  • XML encoder

You may want to use this report to determine, for example, how many of the maps enabled with the system are of the XML encoder type.

The Map List report contains all versions of the map types. The totals in the report are inclusive of every version of the map. For example, if you select to report on the total number of maps enabled in your system, and you have two versions of Map A and two version of Map B, the Map List report indicates that you have a total of four enabled maps in your system.

The following table lists the Map List reports that are installed with IBM® Sterling B2B Integrator:

Report By Parameters

Parameter

Description

Map Type

The report is sorted by map type (draft, draft XML, translation, or XML encoder).

Map Name

The report is sorted by the name of the map.

Detail Filtering Parameters

Parameter

Description

Name

The name of the map or maps that are included in the report.

Map Type
The type of map:
  • Draft - Created when you check in the source map but not the compiled translation object.
  • Draft XML - Created when you check in the source XML file but not the compiled translation object.
  • Translation - A compiled map; to use the instructions in a source map, you must compile the map. A compiled map has a different extension, .txo, and is called a translation object. It provides instructions for translating one format to another in a way that can be interpreted by a translator. The translator does the work of converting a file from one format to another.
  • XML Encoder - The XML encoder object is a compiled map that translates positional, variable-length-delimited, CII, and EDI data formats into XML. It has the extension .ltx. To create an XML encoder object, you select Compile XML Encoder from either the input or output side of an EDI or positional file.

Map Version

The version of the map. IBM Sterling B2B Integrator enables you to designate different versions of a map by specifying a combination of a Major version and minor version, each ranging from 0 to 255. The version identifier is available for your use only; IBM Sterling B2B Integrator does not use it.

For example, if you type 5 for the Map Editor Major version and 45 for the Map Editor Minor version (both values are specified in Map Editor), the map version number is 5.45.

Status

Whether the map is enabled for business processes.

Comments

The comments noted when you check a map in to the IBM Sterling B2B Integrator system.

Description

The unique description of the map as entered in Map Editor. The translator uses this description to identify the map.

Created By
