Map coverage execution
When you run a map in coverage mode from either the Design Studio user interface or the command-line utility, the system follows this workflow :
- Design Studio generates a map coverage settings file (.mcs.json) to define the varied inputs. You can also manually author this settings file to specify one or more coverage runs, each with a unique identifier and optional input or output card overrides for the transformation engine to execute.
- The transformation engine runs the map and generates an interim report file (.mcr~.json) in JSON format.
- The dtxcoverage utility reads the interim report and generates a final report file (.mcr.json) in JSON format.
- Design Studio takes the final report file and displays the results in an interactive Coverage view within the map editor.
