- Command Server overview
  Use execution commands to override the map settings or card settings in a compiled map when a map is run using one of the following methods:
  - Coordinating execution commands with compiled settings
    The following table lists valid execution commands and the MapSetting or input/output card settings that they override.
  - Compiled map files
    You can create compiled map (.mmc) files using the Map Designer, or Command Server commands.
  - Command files
    You can create command files that contain listings of maps to execute with execution commands that specify how you want each map to run.
- Using Command Server commands
  When you run a map, you can:
- List of execution commands
  This documentation contains information about the execution commands and associated options, including the syntax of each command and its particular usage.
- Examples
  This documentation presents a variety of examples involving the execution of maps using various execution commands in a RUN() function and from the command line in UNIX™ and Windows™ environments.
- INI commands for debugging maps
  This documentation presents the dtx.ini (INI) file commands you can use for the debugging of adapter connections for maps run using non event-driven execution methods.

Command Server overview

Use execution commands to override the map settings or card settings in a compiled map when a map is run using one of the following methods:

from a command line prompt
from the Map Designer
from the Command Server user interface
using the RUN() function in a map rule
using the API

Use the map settings and input and output card settings of the Map Designer to define map execution. These map execution settings are included in the compiled map file. Many settings compiled into the map can be overridden (or partially overridden) using executions commands and options.

Some execution commands are limited because they can only be used with a Command Server and cannot be used from within a RUN() function or using the Platform API. Also, some commands are not available on all platforms. See "Command Availability" for more information.
