Chapter 6 - Map Components
Systems can contain any combination of map components and subsystem
components. This chapter describes map components and provides instructions on
how to add the various types of map components to a system.
What is a Map Component?
A map component is an Integration Flow Designer (IFD) object that represents an
executable map with a defined set of interfaces based on sources, targets, and a
surrounding layer of execution settings used at run time.
The IFD treats each map component as a unique object. Consequently, the name,
execution settings, corresponding source and target interfaces, and document
links are maintained separately for each map component that you add to a
system.
There are three classes of map components. Each class is listed below.
Map Icon Color Type
Blue Source Map Components
Source maps reference executable maps defined
within a map source file.
Green Compiled Map Components
Compiled maps reference executable maps in
compiled file format.
Pink Pseudo Map Components
Pseudo maps reference executable maps that
have not yet been implemented.
