MapForce includes a comprehensive data processing function library, and developers may also import libraries and build and save user-defined functions. In MapForce 2020r2, a new Manage Libraries window has been introduced to make this process more flexible and straightforward.
Adding to the ability to import libraries globally such that libraries and user defined functions are available to all mappings, the Manage Libraries window now lets users import them to a specific data mapping project (.mfd). This way, when you send a MapForce project file to colleague(s), it will already include any imported libraries – they do not have to be installed separately. This also makes it possible to, for example, easily copy and paste user-defined functions from one mapping to another seamlessly.
In the case of XML mappings, when a project imports XSLT or XQuery libraries, developers can now generate XSLT or XQuery code that references the imported library files using a relative path.
