- Overview
  Command Server is used to develop, test, and execute maps in development environments. It can also be used to execute commands in production environments.
  - Building a platform-specific map
- Executing a map
  After a map has been built for a specific execution platform and transferred, the map can be executed using a Command Server.
- Troubleshooting tools
- External interfaces for applications, EXIT and RUN
  Maps can interface with other maps, functions in libraries, or programs using the EXIT function, the RUN function or an adapter as a data source or target.
- Windows platforms
  There are several activities you can do with the Command Server that you have installed on your Windows environment.

Building a platform-specific map

After creating a map in Map Designer, you can build a map for a specific execution platform. Select a specific platform under Map > Build for Specific Platform.

When a map is built for a specific platform, the name of the compiled map file has a platform-specific file name extension that indicates the execution platform for the map. The following table lists each platform and the corresponding platform-specific filename extension.

Platform: Map File Name Extension
Linux™ (Intel™ processor): .lnx
Microsoft™ Windows™: .mmc

After transferring a platform-specific built map, it is strongly recommended that you rename the compiled map by using the .mmc file extension. Renaming it is not necessary; however, it is helpful because an .mmc extension identifies the file name in mapping functions and the renamed map can be executed without specifying the extension.
