    Is there any tutorial available for this.

    I have been knowing few thing as on what is type trees, maps ,.mdb file and other design studio components.

     

    But I am unable to under the integrated flow designer, what is it and how it works.

    Also what are the .msl files.

     

    In my project I have done changes to typetrees and maps file but as I dnt understand .msl and .msd file. I am unable to deploy the changes.

    Can you please help me find the solution.

     

    Regards,

    When you use the Integration Flow Designer, you are creating visual process flows and from them creating executable systems that are processed by the Launcher or Command Server.

    The Integration Flow Designer enables you to easily manage collections of related maps by graphically organizing them into logical collections of systems. The Integration Flow Designer turns a system into an executable file that is run by the Launcher or Command Server.

     

    The following is link to TX documentation which explains in more detail about the Integration flow designer and the msl/msd files.

    I have gone through the link and understood what Integrated flow designer do. It basically define how the maps will be executed.

     

    My issue/query is that, If I have added a new component in type tree and changed the maps rule where the type tree is being used.

    Than in this situation while deploying the changes to different environment (e.g. Production) do I need to just replace the new .mmc with older .mmc file? ( as I do if there are changes only in the map file) or do I have to change the .msl file also?

    Just replacing the compiled map (.mmc) would do the job in this case. If you are not adding/deleting any of the input or output cards then you can simply replace the .mmc file (and restart the server in case you are using the event servers).
