Chapter 3 – Version 6.7 Utility Commands

What's New Reference Guide

CORBA API

This new API enables a map to be invoked as a CORBA object. The Mercator map

objects are offered as CORBA services with a number of popular ORBs. The

server-side CORBA objects can be developed either in C++ or Java. The CORBA

API is consistent with the other language implementations of the Mercator

Programming Interface.

Java API Enhancements

This new API enables a map to be invoked as a Java object. This API is provided to

supercede the former Java API (versions 6.5.2 and prior). It removes some of the

limitations inherent in the former API and is consistent with the other language

implementations of the Mercator Programming Interface.

Utility Commands

Utility commands have been introduced into MIB v6.7. These commands permit

type tree analysis, the importing and exporting of type trees, compilation of maps,

the importing and exporting of map source files, and system deployment.

Utility commands offer basic functions that are performed by the Design Studio,

but allow them to be executed from the command line or within a command script

without running the Design Studio applications.

The list of utility commands includes:

♦

tanalyze: analyzes type trees

♦

timport: imports type trees

♦

texport: exports type trees

♦

mcompile: compiles maps

♦

mimport: imports maps

♦

mexport: exports maps

♦

sdeploy: deploys systems
