Deploy Data Mappings and Report Designs for Automated Processing

Deploying data mappings created in MapForce and report designs created in StyleVision for automated processing by Altova server products is straightforward and quick.
The File menu in MapForce includes two options to optimize, preprocess, and deploy data mappings for MapForce Server and FlowForce Server. Preprocessing enables faster performance and reduced memory footprint for most data mappings.

Compile to MapForce Server Execution File saves a local file for MapForce Server running in a standalone configuration executed from a command line. Creating the execution file is nearly instantaneous.
Deploy to FlowForce Server opens a dialog that allows users to connect directly to FlowForce Server and log in to create and deploy the .mfx, as shown below:
Deploying the data mapping to FlowForce Server
Note options in this dialog to choose the destination directory or rename the mapping. The connection to deploy mappings conforms to all FlowForce Server security functionality, so permissions are managed by FlowForce Server settings. The Browse button lets users examine existing folders and data mappings on the FlowForce Server:
Browse FlowForce Server Folders and data mappings from MapForce
Replace defined input and output file names

The data mapping becomes a FlowForce Server job execution step, with parameters to assign input and output file names for automated processing. This simplifies developing and reusing MapForce data mappings, as users focus on the design and test with local files containing sample data.
