Deploying map resources

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.

If the map is deployed to the broker in a map archive (mar) file, you must make sure that any required files reside in the same project as the map, so they are automatically included in the mar file.

If the map is manually deployed to the broker, you must also manually deploy any required files to the broker.

The two alternative map deployment mechanisms are described in Deploying IBM Transformation Extender maps.

In particular, if your data is XML, and you have imported an XML Schema (.xsd file) when creating a type tree validated using Xerces, or used an XML Schema directly when creating a map card, the .xsd file is required by the map and must be deployed to the broker for use at run time in either of the following cases:

if the data is being received from the message flow in the BLOB domain
if the data is being received from a IBM Transformation Extender adapter
