Building a WebSphere DataPower map

Use the build process in the Map Designer to generate a compiled map with the DataPower appliance (.dpa) extension.

To build a DataPower map:

In the Outline view or Composition view, select the map and do one of the following choices:
- On the Map menu, click Build.
- On the toolbar, click the Build icon.
- Right-click the map and on the menu, click Build.
From the menu bar, click Map > Build.
A window opens that displays the build status and then closes.
To verify that the map was built without errors, open the Organizer folder and double-click the Build Results element. The Build Results view opens. A blank Build Results view indicates that there were no build errors.

The build results can also be viewed using a text editor. The file (map_name.mme) is located in the map directory.

If you are building multiple DataPower maps, select the map in the Outline view or Composition view, and from the menu bar, click Map > Build All.

During the build process, the Map Designer generates a compiled map with the DataPower appliance (.dpa) extension.
