Map Settings
The map settings specify settings for map execution that are not specific to a
particular input or output. These include settings for auditing a map, tracing data
content, performance, validation, and map-specific warnings and errors.
An executable map has configuration settings to define how to retrieve the input
data and route the output data.
A map runs as an integral unit of work. The purpose of a map is to retrieve and
validate input data, build output data from input data according to the mapping
rules you have specified, and then deliver the results to designated target(s).
Data can be retrieved all at once or in incremental bursts. Map rules can operate
on the entire stream of input data or in smaller logical units of work. These
configurations are defined as map settings and card settings.
