Chapter 6 - Design and Execution
The Design Studio components are primarily used during the design phase of your
transformation project.
Design-Time Configuration
Generating (or creating) the type tree, and modifying type properties, is a design
task.
Configuring the map settings in the Map Settings dialog box, SourceRule
settings in the input card, and TargetRule settings in the output card are tasks
performed in the Map Designer during the design phase of your project. Setting
the initial map and card settings is a design-time task. These configuration
settings are compiled into the map.
Systems can be designed in the Integration Flow Designer before, during, or after
the type tree and map design phase.
These design-time tasks are performed on the client components of the Design
Studio. Changing these settings at the time of execution are run-time tasks. The
platform-specific Event Server or Command Server is used to execute maps and
systems in a run-time environment.
Run-Time Configuration
Map settings and card settings may be overwritten in two ways:
♦ Modifying the execution settings of a system component in the Integration
Flow Designer
♦ At execution time with execution commands
Execution commands override the map settings or card settings of the compiled
map when that map is run. See the Execution Commands Reference Guide for a
complete description of the override commands.
