Resource Registry alias usage overview
When resource aliases are used with the Resource Registry, aliases are resolved for the resources when each map is initialized.
When the Command Server or Launcher is started, or for users of the Transformation Extender Programming Interface or Java API, if the resource configuration file does not exist or is not specified, resource aliases are not used and any aliases in any commands remain unaliased (keeping the % signs in the command).
When resource aliases are used, aliases are resolved for the following resources upon each map initialization:
- Each input card's FilePath or Command
- 2000 bytes
- Each output card's FilePath or Command
- 2000 bytes
- Each card's backup path
- 255 bytes
- Audit file path and name
- 259 bytes
- Trace file path and name
- 259 bytes
- Work file path
- 259 bytes
- Map server location
- 259 bytes
