Document Map
At TechnocratsDomain we specialize in providing WTX Services. We have developed tools that assist analyst and developers in regards to upgrading, documentation, and code review of the Mercator/DataStage TX maps.
Map Document takes the map in XML format and produces a html and summary document out of the map. Following are some of the advantages of the application:
Easy readable and printable format of map rules (html).
Summary page displays all Mercator Functions, Type Trees, Hard Coded Paths used in the Map.
Displays all the Resource Registry variables in the Map.
Map Designer is not needed to look at the Map document.
Perform code review, analyze the rules by a business analyst or a Mercator person without any hassle of having the software.
Takes less than a min for most of the maps to produce the summary/html document. Reduce documentation time from 4 hours to a minute.
Over 500% savings in time compared to documenting the same manually.
This tool allows the Mercator developers to find the problem looking at the output file generated by the tool. Trace Map imports the trace file of the Mercator map as input and generates a one-page file pointing to the possible reason for the failure of the map.
Reduce the trace file by at least 75%.
For EDI, and SAP IDOC files, the tool helps to pinpoint the error section.
Some of the features of the Launcher Dashboard are:
Displays the status of Launcher the on Intranet without the Management Console
Allows viewing the status of all launchers at one location
Displays the status of each WTX sub-system for the Launcher
Note:The tool needs access to sftp or ftp port for the dashboard to operate. Needs some customization based on the customer's environment.
