Differences when running Transformation Extender maps on Sterling B2B Integrator
On Sterling B2B Integrator, IBM Transformation Extender maps run through different services that are called by business processes.
There is a set of Sterling B2B Integrator services that run IBM Transformation Extender maps with some restrictions. There is also a WTX Map service that can run any IBM Transformation Extender map with no restrictions. Through the Design Server, you can test running maps on a Sterling B2B Integrator server inside this WTX Map service.
- For maps to run inside Sterling B2B Integrator services other than the WTX Map service, these services require that maps meet certain requirements to be considered "well behaved" maps.
- If the map is not checked into the Sterling B2B Integrator map repository, the map runs in the same way as any other IBM Transformation Extender map runs.
- The map can include the Sterling adapter in PUT and GET
rules in the following locations:
- On the map
- Through the command line on an input or output card
The Sterling adapter calls the data harness to provide access to Sterling B2B Integrator tables. These maps can only run within the Sterling B2B Integrator.
- You must configure the Design Server settings, such as connection properties, the Check In Map service options, and the troubleshooting options, for Sterling B2B Integrator services.
- The map must be built for a platform that the Sterling B2B Integrator server supports.
- For troubleshooting problems, you must configure the Save service request and response, Save service session log messages options in the Design Server.
You can test the map in the Design Server to verify that you configured the map to run correctly on Sterling B2B Integrator. After you completed test running the map, you can then deploy the map from Design Server to a Sterling B2B Integrator server map repository.
