MapRuntime setting

The MapRuntime setting determines the runtime platform of an executable map. The default value is Transformation Extender. The alternate option, DataPower, pertains to an IBM DataPower Gateway.

To design and create DataPower maps in the Map Designer, which is during the pre-production phase, use the DataPower runtime option to build and test them. After you have successfully tested the maps, you can deploy the maps to a IBM DataPower Gateway during the production phase. Maps that are built specifically for a IBM DataPower Gateway do not support all of the features of the Transformation Extender. The limitations on the gateway are described in the Limitations of Gateway topic. The DataPower run time requires a compiled map (.dpa) and the input files for the map to run.
