The information entered on the Map Directories tab specifies the directories that contain data associated with the current map. This information includes:
Transaction Maps – contains the segment/element mapping files that define the EDI-to-application relationship in the current map.
Application File Description – contains the object (database, table, directory, file, and record) definitions of the application data in the current map.
Level Names – contains the numbers and descriptions of the levels that define the map flow in the current map.
Loop Flow Table – contains context (semantic) information used in the current map.
Trading Partner – contains information that is used on the EDI envelopes to identify the trading partner in the current map and information that identifies the maps associated with the trading partner.
Company Identification – contains the default sender information, including the information that is used on the EDI envelopes to identify the company in the current map.
Rule Definition – contains all the rules used in the current map.
Generated Tables – contains the compiled.map file created when the map is generated and the trace files created when the map is run
Cross Reference Tables – contains the files that are used to convert codes in the data being mapped.
Report Generation – was used in earlier versions of the software and can be ignored.
EDI Standards Tables – contains the EDI standard used to build the current map.
The EDI Standards Tables directory is a common directory shared by all maps. If you chose the default directory during installation, the EDI standards are stored in c:\Program Files\Sybase\Standards\<version>.
The default location for all other map-related data is the <project>\<map> directory specified on the New Project window when the project was created. If you want multiple maps to share the same directories, your directory structure deviates from this default directory structure. This is permitted, but you must specify the correct directories on this window.
