Building maps for a single platform
To build a map that runs on a single platform, use and choose the platform you want the map to support. To build all maps in the map source file for a single platform, use and choose the platform.
A map that is compiled for a single platform has a platform-specific file
extension. The compiled map name is the executable map name with the platform-specific extension,
such as .aix. For example, building the map MyMap
for the Linux® platform creates the file MyMap.lnx in
the map directory. These default file extensions prevent you from inadvertently overwriting your
original compiled map. They also help identify the compiled map file to transfer to the specific
platform environment.
A map that is compiled for multiple platforms has the same .mmc file extension as maps that are compiled for a Windows platform.
When deploying systems that contain maps with XML types to non-windows platforms, the XML Schema, and XML input files must be transferred in binary format.
