Chapter 14 - Running a Map From the
Map Designer
After a map has been compiled, it can be run. When you run a map, the
information in the compiled map file is used to create the output data.
To run a map, use a the Map Designer, a Transformation Server, an Event Server,
or an API. The Design Studio components include a Windows Command Server.
You may also have a command server for another platform, such as AIX, Sun
Solaris, HP-UX, or MVS. Some command servers have different command options.
For information on command options for a command server in a particular
environment, see the Command Server Reference Guide.
If you have an Event Server, you use the Integration Flow Designer to configure
maps to run. You may run a map from within an application using a Mercator API.
And, you can use the
RUN function to run a map within another map.
Note For some environments, you may need to build maps for that specific platform.
For information on building for a specific platform, see the section Building a Map
for Another Platform.
