Deploying IBM Transformation Extender maps

When you deploy message flows that contain TX Map nodes, you must also deploy the associated IBM® Transformation Extender maps, and any files that the maps require.

There are two alternative map deployment mechanisms when you use the TX Map node in a message flow.

For all deployments:

  1. Create a broker archive (bar) file.
    This opens the bar file editor.
  2. Switch to the Prepare tab, and check the box against your message flow.
  3. Click Build broker archive to build the bar file, confirm that the build operation was successful, and click Save to save the updated bar file.
    After you click Build broker archive, you might be prompted to respond in the Override configurable properties dialog as to whether or not you want to continue to allow the build process to override the configurable properties in the bar file.
  4. If you need to set any message flow configurable properties, switch to the Manage tab, and set the properties accordingly in the Configure tab of the Properties view.
The steps that you do next, depend on the kind of map you are using:
