Summary
The exported xml open document interface is useful for:
♦ Storing and retrieving map definitions in a repository.
♦ Printing map definitions.
♦ Global impact analysis.
♦ Converting business rules from other sources to map rules.
♦ Documentation.
Exported maps also provide an alternate format for storing map definitions in xml
format in version control systems. The mapsettings.dtd and the mms.dtd files
are required to view the exported xml file in a browser.
Note Close all maps, type trees, and text files.
