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.
