Run operation details

When the operation to test running a IBM Transformation Extender map on a Sterling B2B Integrator server starts, several things occur.

The map run operation first verifies that the required connection properties in the Sterling B2B Integrator preferences pane contain values.

If you did not configure the required connection properties in the Sterling B2B Integrator preferences pane before doing this step and so the properties do not contain values, the verification process fails and the Error connecting window opens. The window has a link to the Sterling B2B Integrator preferences pane. You can click the Open preference page to update connection properties link, and in the Sterling B2B Integrator preferences pane, configure the connection properties. If you do not click the link, or you click the link but do not configure the connection properties in the Sterling B2B Integrator preferences pane, and then click OK, the map run operation ends and returns the presentation focus to the Design Studio.

You might be prompted to enter your Sterling B2B Integrator password depending on various scenarios. To learn more about the various scenarios, see Setting password when test running or deploying map.

If the verification process passes, the Run on Sterling B2B Integrator: host_URL window opens and displays the progress of the map run operation. The window remains open and the progress of the map run operation continues to display until the operation completes. There is an option available for the maps to run in the background so that you can continue to access the Design Studio graphical user interface (GUI). You might want to select this option for long-running maps.
