TA1XLG map [EBF 4.2.4]

A TA1 map, named TA1XLG, has been added to ECMAP. This map is based on the original TA1 maps, TA1ODBCA and TA1ODBCT. TA1XLG reads log messages from an expanded text log instead of from an ODBC database. The other TA1 maps use ODBC. You set up the TA1XLG map as you would any other, through the Run Map screens in either ECMAP or EC Gateway.

This map was added to support faster real-time transaction processing by enabling the writing of log records to a memory buffer, instead of to disk. Writing to memory requires the records be written in expanded text log format. As a result, users can now run a TA1 map against these records stored in a memory buffer. As a final step, these log records should be written to disk by running the LOGUPDATE log persistence map.
