MMap in dtxapi provides options to update map settings dynamically for that instance/run. Are there any means to store the updated map settings back to the actual mmc file ?  i.e. take an input MMC file, update it via the API and store the updated settings back to the physical file.

Hello,

I doubt there is any way to do this, at least supported.

I know a colleague of mine was able to change some flags (i.e. trace, audit ON or OFF) by editing the mmc's binary, but nothing is documented obviously.

On the other hand, I'm not sure this would be a good idea, I do not like to depend on the mmc itself to control execution, I'd rather set the options each time I run it (read "have the execution engine set the options...")

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for your response. Rather than having to recompile and redeploy the MMC every time for fine tuning map settings, we wanted to have some of these settings administrated dynamically.

I would definitely agree with your view on -> I doubt there is any way to do this, at least supported.

Enabling/ disabling trace , Audit log setting, page settings are much helpful for debugging and investigating problems on the fly or just for few iterations.

Trying to edit card level settings (like changing output card to SINK) are more complex  but the API's seems to do all the job at ease. Was wondering if at all we have an option to save those run time instance of the map back to the mmc file.

Thanks, V.
