Right-clicking to change map configuration properties

You can right-click to change configuration properties by selecting a map object in either the Integration Components Library or the InterChange Server Components Library. This section provides steps for both methods..

Integration Components Library (project view)

From the Integration Component Library, you can easily access a map object to change its configuration. Complete the following steps to change the configuration for a map object.

  1. Expand the map objects tree to see all map objects.
  2. Right-click on the map object for which you are changing configuration properties.
  3. From the drop-down menu, select Properties and click OK. The general configuration properties for the map object are displayed in the right panel.
    Note:
    To view advanced properties, click the right arrow next to the Advanced field.
  4. Click in the fields that you want to change and enter the new information. For an explanation of the valid field values, see the Map Development Guide. The figure below is an example of the configuration screen.

  5. When you finish updating the fields, click File and then click Save.

For additional information about maps and properties, see the Map Development Guide.

InterChange Server Components Library (server view)

From the InterChange Server Components Library, you can easily access a map object to view or change its configuration properties. In the menu tree, you can select one or multiple maps. Complete the following steps to view or change maps' configuration properties.

  1. Click the InterChange Server instance that contains the maps you want to view.
  2. Expand the Maps tree option to view all maps.
  3. To view a single map's properties, right-click on the specific map.
    To view multiple maps' properties, highlight the ones you want to display and right-click.
  4. On the drop-down menu, click Properties and click OK.

    If you selected one map, the system displays a screen similar to the following.

To display the categories for the maps, click the first icon in the top-right corner. To display read-only properties, click the third icon (the lock). These three buttons are toggles that enable you to switch views.
  5. Change any general or advanced properties for maps. For an explanation of the properties and valid values, see the Map Development Guide.
  6. When you finish changing map configuration properties, click File and then click Save.
