Changing a source map compared to changing a compiled map

When you design a message flow to use either a source map or a compiled map, consider whether you might want to change the map later. There are fewer steps required to change a compiled map than to change a source map.

To change a source map:
  1. Use IBM® Transformation Extender Design Studio or the IBM Transformation Extender perspective of IBM Integration Bus to make the map changes.
  2. Recompile the broker archive (BAR) file.
  3. Deploy the new BAR file.
To change a compiled map:
  1. Use IBM Transformation Extender Design Studio or the IBM Transformation Extender perspective of IBM Integration Bus to make the map changes.
  2. Replace the original map with the revised map in the database or file system where the BAR file is deployed.
