Using a source map with a TX Map node

To use a source map with a TX Map node:

  1. In the Prepare tab, click Build broker archive.

    When IBM® Integration Bus builds the bar file, it compiles the message flow, and adds it to the bar file. As part of this compilation, the source map is compiled automatically, and the resulting compiled maps, and other resources in the project, are added to a map archive (mar) file, which is then added to the bar file. When a source map is compiled, IBM Integration Bus adds three compiled maps to the map archive (mar) file, one each for Windows, UNIX, and z/OS operating systems. This means that the resulting bar file can be deployed to any supported IBM Integration Bus runtime environment.

  2. When the bar file is complete, deploy it using one of the typical IBM Integration Bus deployment techniques.

    Deployment unpacks the bar file and forwards the content to the broker runtime environment. Any mar files are placed into locations from where they are loaded when the TX Map node requires them.
