  • 1.  WTX Map Service Referencing MRN File

    Posted 03/08/24 03:09 PM

    Our goal is to convert ITX maps to run on B2BI. The ITX map we are testing includes an output card that archives the translated file. 

    We have updated the B2BI property file "translator.properties_wtx_ext.in" to include the ResourceFile that points to the .mrc file. We ran SetupFiles.cmd

    The .mrc file references the .mrn file that will include the archive directory.

    We verified the .mrn file has the correct resource value referenced in the ITX map rule for the PUT("FILE") function.

    To test the ITX map we ran it through B2BI. The map successfully translates creating a new primary document, but the additional output card does not perform the PUT("FILE") function referenced above and so no archive file is created in the expected directory listed in the MRN file.

    When running it from the Design Studio as a standalone map it works as expected, creating an archive document in the specified folder.


    Are there additonal steps needed when migrating ITX maps to B2BI to reference stored MRN values?

    In Version 5.x, this is what you need.  

    Configure the Resource Registry location on the ResourceFile= property in the Sterling_installation_dir\properties\translator.properties_wtx_ext.in file.

    Hi Rex, thanks for your reply. We previously updated the property file and ran setup files. I'm assuming we put the mrc file and not the mrn file in the translator.properties_wtx_ext.in

    • We have updated the B2BI property file "translator.properties_wtx_ext.in" to include the ResourceFile that points to the .mrc file.

    From the B2BI logs, it does seem to reference the .mrc file, but it seems it is not find the mrn reference.

    In the .mrc file, do we need a specific reference to the B2BI server  (similar to EventServer, CommandServer, Global) for the ResourceFile below:

    <ResourceCfg>
        <EventServer/>
        <CommandServer>
            <ResourceFile ActiveVirtualServer="WTXDEV">E:\IBM\SI\MRC\T_Msg_Mgr.mrn</ResourceFile>
        </CommandServer>
        <Global>
            <ResourceFile ActiveVirtualServer="WTXDEV">E:\IBM\SI\MRC\T_Msg_Mgr.mrn</ResourceFile>
        </Global>
    </ResourceCfg>

    I believe you either need to update the file without the .in or you run the setupfiles.sh to update it.  Check with your B2Bi administrator if you have question about the file with and without the ".in"
     
    If using ITX Resource Registry from an SI WTX Map Service then the .mrc needs to be defined as the ResourceFile=<full_path_to_mrc_file> property value in the translator.properties_wtx_ext.in file then run the SI setupfiles.sh script to create the updated translator.properties_wtx_ext file.

    Yes typically you run setup files after modifying the property files.

    We discovered that when modifying MRN files for B2BI you need to restart the B2BI application. That seems to have fixed our issues, thanks all!
