Note  As mentioned in the Adapter Configuration for Input and Output section, virtually 
all of the source, target, and map setting parameters can be overridden with 
different values at runtime. This capability is available for all modes of map 
execution. 
This enables the ability to change map execution parameters for different 
deployment environments, sources and destinations (such as development, user 
acceptance testing (UAT), and production environments) without having to modify 
and recompile the maps. 
Resource Registry 
The Resource Registry is an application that provides a resource name alias 
repository, which can be used to abstract various parameter settings using aliases 
that resolve to specific resources within the enterprise. The premise behind the 
Resource Registry is that it permits generic resource variables to be used within 
Mercator components. These resource variables are then automatically resolved to 
the actual resources (such as directory paths, database names, message queue 
names, and server names). Resource variables make it possible to use the same 
map and system definitions in different deployment environments.
