Use the Map Properties dialog (see Figure 25) to display and specify property information for a map. To display the Map Properties dialog, perform any of the following actions:
The Map Properties dialog provides the following tabs:
Figure 25 shows the General tab of the Map Properties dialog.

The General tab of the
Map Properties dialog displays the general property information shown in Table 19.
Table 19. General Map Property Information
General Map Property | Description | For more information | |
---|---|---|---|
Map name
| Identifies the map whose properties the dialog displays. This field is initialized when you create a new map and is not an editable field. | N/A | |
|
Mapping role
|
Identifies the purpose of the map. Possible values of mapping roles are:
|
|
Run-time properties
| Specifies the map properties (trace level, data validation level,
implicit database transaction, and fail on invalid data) that apply to the map
instance at run time. You can specify these properties here in the
General tab of Map Designer's Map Properties dialog or from the Map
Properties window that
System Manager provides. The changes are made to the local file
system. Deploying the map to the server will not update the run-time
instance.
| ||
| Trace level | Sets the trace level for the map. | "Adding trace messages" |
| Data validation level | Allows you to check each operation in a map and log an error when data in the incoming business object cannot be transformed. | "Creating custom data validation levels" |
| Implicit Database transaction | Determines whether InterChange Server uses implicit transaction bracketing for transactions over its connections. |
|
| Fail on invalid data | Determines whether map execution fails if data is invalid. | "Creating custom data validation levels" |
Variable declarations | You can declare your own Java variables to use in your transformation code. For more information, see "Using variables". | ||
| Map file declaration block | Allows you to import Java packages (such as MapUtils) into a map for use within transformation code. | "Importing Java packages and other custom code" |
| Map local declaration block | Allows you to import custom Java code developed outside of Map Designer into a map for use within transformation code. | "Importing Java packages and other custom code" |
The Business Objects tab of the Map Properties dialog displays information about the map's business objects. It lists the source and destination business objects as well as any temporary business object that might be defined. For more information, see "Steps for modifying business object variables".
