Run-time properties
| These map properties (trace level, data validation level, implicit
database transaction, and fail on invalid data) apply to the map instance at
run time. You can specify these properties here in the General tab of
Map Designer Express'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 Express 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" |
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 "Generating business object variables".
