TargetRule Output Card Settings 
The TargetRule settings define how the output data is routed. The data object 
specified in the output card defines what data is output. 
To define card-specific output data routing, define the TargetRule settings for 
each output card. TargetRule settings specify where to send the data, and what 
to do when an error occurs. An output card represents an output target. The 
content of an output is a data object such as a table of customer records in a 
database, or a message that contains a business transaction, or a file of records. 
The content of an output card is defined with the CardName, TypeTree and 
Type settings. These settings define what the data is, but does not specify how to 
route the data. The Target, Retry, and Scope card settings are some of the 
TargetRule settings that define how the output data is routed for each output 
card. 
To define TargetRule settings 
1  Select the output card. 
2  From the Card menu, choose Edit. 
The Edit Output Card dialog box displays. 
3  Enter desired values for TargetRule settings. 
TargetRule Setting Overrides 
Output card settings are stored in the compiled map. It is possible to override the 
setting for each option from the both the Command Server and the Integration 
Flow Designer, which are supplied with the Design Studio. 
Execution commands can be used to override the map settings or card settings 
compiled into the compiled map when a map is run. See the execution commands 
list for a complete description of the override commands.
