Using source maps

Configure a TX Map node in your message flow to use a source map.

About this task

To use a source map:

Procedure

  1. Switch to the IBM® Integration Development perspective, and open your message flow in the project.
  2. Select a TX Map node, and navigate to the Basic tab of the Properties view.
  3. Select Use map from project.
  4. Browse for the source map (.mms) file by clicking Browse, and use the wizard to locate the source map.
  5. Select an executable map from the source map.
    If you do not see your map inside the source map file, it might be set up as a functional map. For detailed information about functional maps, see the Map Designer documentation.
  6. The number of output cards in the executable map determines the number of output terminals that are automatically added to the TX Map node.
  7. To override any of the map or card settings, switch to the Map Settings tab, and click Map Settings.

Results

Automatically, the map is compiled when IBM App Connect Enterprise adds the message flow to a broker archive (bar) file. A map archive (mar) file is created containing compiled map (.mmc) files, which is added to the current project in the workspace and to the bar file. Then you deploy the bar file to the broker.
