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
.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.
