Application data

User-defined application data is the input for outbound transaction maps, and the output for inbound transaction maps. Application data is both the input and the output for any-to-any maps and webmaps. Application data can be formatted as a flat file, an ODBC database, or HTML or XML data in a text file. Application data can be located in a file/database or in memory; if it is in memory, it can be in a memory location or specified as standardin or standardout.
