Command Servers

A Command Server executes maps based on commands that you supply using a predefined command-line syntax. You start a Command Server, providing it with one or more commands, and the Command Server terminates when it has completed the last command. The commands for a Command Server can be produced by the Integration Flow Designer from the execution settings that you specify for map components. You can also define the commands manually.

You can use a Command Server to execute one map or multiple maps. A Command Server executes multiple maps in a single-threaded sequential fashion, a scheme that is sufficient for many applications. A Command Server expects all the sources of a map to exist when the map is executed.
