Answer for Q2

There is no relation between functional maps and RUN command.
Run command which allows you to execute another IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender compiled map from a component or map rule.
Functional map which is used for repeatedly calling a particular map and all.

Q3

PUT function Passes data to a target adapter.
Syntax
PUT ( single-text-expression , single-text-expression , single-text-expression )
Meaning
PUT ( adapter_alias , adapter_command , data_to_send_to_adapter )
Returns ( NONE )
Refer WTX help for details

Q14

Yes we can have more MDQ s for a single map.
Q7

Enable the trace for a map and and check in the trace file.
All the field level information will be captured in the trace file.
But for that u have to right click the map and then in map settings you have to enable the trace.

Q8
Validation map is needed inorder to validate a particular input.
It is not mandatory to have a validation map. It is used to check the input type tree structure is valid with the input file and viceversa.

Q9

You can use the validation map for syntax check also.

Q13

EDI is Electronic Data Interchange. it is a way of transmitting data electronically. For eg if you want to transmit an invoice, purchase order, shipping order all these things, EDI is used inorder to transmit the information in a secure way.
Q15

I think it will be a cartitian product.

1) Integral : if we enabled this, incoming message will be splitted based on mentioned line numbers and parse the splitted message part by part. Performance will be good when incoming file size is large.
Burst : By default card setting will be burst only. It will read the incoming message as whole file. mainly used when file size is small.

11) 3 different types of Groups: unordered, choice and Partition Group

2) Run function is for calling different map under the same map source. Functional map is kind of loop, which some mapping rule have to provide input and command to execute. we can avoid functional map using add index option but that is only for some extend.
