Map location

The location of the ITX map executable to be run is dynamically set on WMB LocalEnvironment (LocalEnvironment.WTX.MapServerLocation), and is configured using the Channel.PARAM (MAPPER_URI) in the format [ftmmap://map_label/identifier].

PARAM{MAPPER_URI=ftmmap://map_label/identifier}

A UDP entry (MapRoot) is configured to point to a root directory for all ITX maps deployed to the server external to the BAR file mechanism. For ITX, the map_label is the WMB label used to route to the ITX integration flow. The identifier is the ITX map to be invoked by the WTX Map node (it may contain a partial path to be appended to the MAP_ROOT). Adjustment of the compiled map name suffix/extension is controlled by a UDP (MapFileExt) and passed by the ITX Configuration card (Config).

If both the MapRoot and the mapper name (identifier) are configured with the directory path, the mapper name takes precedence. If the mapper name contains a folder name (for example, Maps\Common.mmc), the folder and map name are appended to the MapRoot when calling the map. This enables subdivision of maps into their own directory structure off the MapRoot directory. If MapFileExt is left blank then the extension for Windows (mmc) is assumed.

The CHANNEL table PARAM column also contains the CONFIG parameter to be used as the CATEGORY for VALUE table lookups for the CHANNEL, and also contains the TARGET_DOMAIN parameter to be used as the domain for messages coming from ITX.
