Chapter 5: Using ECRTP in a Web Environment


Using ECRTP in a Web environment

ECRTP can be used to map data to and from HTML or XML data. There are a number of features in ECMap (the map development program) that support the use of ECRTP in a Web environment.

On the Web Script tab of the Run Inbound Map and Run Outbound Map, ECMap has a utility that creates an ASP (Active Server Page) that contains the runtime script or a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) that contains the script. You have the choice of creating uncompiled C code or compiled executable code. If you create uncompiled code, you can make changes to it. The map switches are in the code itself, and you must compile it before you use it. If you create compiled code, you cannot make changes to the code. The map switches are in a separate file outside the code.
