Map Build Analysis Errors
If a build error occurs, a map cannot be compiled until the problem is corrected.
Build errors are written to the Build Errors tab on the Organizer window and to
a map build analysis results file with the .mme file name extension. This .mme
file is written to the folder where the map source file is located.
If build errors occur, view the errors, correct the problem(s), and build the map
again. A map cannot be run if it has not been built.
Refer to Chapter 18 - Error and Warning Messages for a complete list of map build
analysis messages.
Build results of a map provide information on errors and warnings that occur
during the map build process. Errors and warnings are reported on the Build
Results tab of the Organizer window.
During the map build process, the map and all of the functional maps that are
referenced within that map are analyzed.
♦ Build errors prevent a map from being compiled
♦ Build warnings alert you of a condition that might be problematic.
You can ignore warnings to allow the map to be built even if there are warnings.
If you build a map and there are warnings, but no errors, the map is compiled.
Viewing Build Results
Build results are written to a map build analysis results file with the .mme file
name extension. This .mme file is written to the folder where the map source file
is located. The .mme file is a text file and may be viewed with a text editor or
from within the Map Designer.
To view build results
1 From the Map menu, choose Organizer.
The Organizer window appears.
2 Click the Build Results tab.
Tip The organizer window can be configured to automatically open if there were build
errors. Enable the Tools > Options > Organizer option for Show only on
errors.
An empty Build Results tab indicates that there were no map build errors.
