Using the Map Command Server

The Map Command Server provides a window that shows ongoing information during map execution.

To use the Map Command Server to run a map

When you open the Map Command Server application, a window opens indicating that the Map Command Server is ready to be run; however, no maps are currently loaded:

From the Map menu, select Run.
Choose a compiled map.

The Map Command Server window displays status information such as the number of objects found and built, as well as execution time.

Note: If the map does not complete successfully, see Using a Command Server for troubleshooting information.
