Chapter 10 - Generating System Files 
This chapter describes how to prepare systems to run. To run a system, you must 
generate a command (.txt) or Event Server system file (.msl) from your system 
definition file (.msd). An .msl file is the process control file for the Event Server. 
Before generating an .msl file, you should first build all maps and then analyze 
the system. 
Building Maps 
The Integration Flow Designer (IFD) enables you to easily build maps for a 
specified system. You can build a single map, a selected group of maps, or all 
maps referenced within a system. The build process is the same as that performed 
in the Map Designer. 
To build all maps referenced by all source map components in a system 
1  Open a system. 
2  From the System menu, choose Build Maps. 
All of the executable maps are built. The Build Maps dialog appears displaying 
the progress of the build process. After the IFD builds all the maps in the 
system, a dialog appears displaying the build results.
