Compiling
functional acknowledgment maps
A functional acknowledgment map needs to be compiled into a map control string before the translator component of WebSphere Partner Gateway can create a functional acknowledgment based on the map.
The following steps describe how to compile a functional acknowledgment map.
- Open the
Functional Acknowledgment Maps list window by clicking the Mapping
button on the Data Interchange Services client navigator bar and
selecting the Functional Acknowledgment Maps tab.
- Select
one or more maps in the Functional Acknowledgment Maps list
window.
- Click
the Compile button on the toolbar, or select Compile from the Actions
menu.
Note:
Alternatively,
you can compile functional acknowledgment maps from the Functional
Acknowledgment Map editor. From the editor, click the Compile button on
the toolbar, or select Compile from the Actions menu. If a change has
been made in the editor, a dialog appears asking if the change can be
saved. Click the OK button to save the change and continue the compile
process. Click the Cancel button if you do not want to save the change
or compile the map.
Data Interchange
Services client compiles the selected functional acknowledgment maps and
displays an Execution Status window. When Data Interchange Services
client is finished compiling, a message appears on the Execution Status
window indicating that the compile has been completed. You can click the
Cancel button on the Execution Status window to terminate the compile
function.
In addition to
compiling or recompiling the map, the map control string must be copied
to the database accessed by the translator component of WebSphere
Partner Gateway. This is commonly done using the export and import
functions.
Note:
Compiling
a functional acknowledgment map involves a large amount of database
access. If your database is on a network, it may be preferable to move
your map and document definitions to a local database and do the compile
on the local database. After the compile has completed, the control
string can be exported to the desired
database.
