How to use the EXISTING_MAP_DATA_PATHS property
XMap has the ability to connect to multiple data sources simultaneously. You may want to add one or
more data connections during the install. The EXISTING_MAP_DATA_PATHS provides the ability to
accomplish these connections.
Note: The application has to resolve all data connections when starting the application. As an
administrator, you should judiciously add connections to speed application start time. Individual users can
still add more data connections from within the application.
The property EXISTING_MAP_DATA_PATHS should include one or more fully-qualified paths. Separate
multiple paths with a single pipe ( | ) character. If you are providing this value on a command line, be sure
to use double quotes as demonstrated below.
Example:
• msiexec /qn /i <program msi> LICENSE_NUMBER=@@@@-@@@@-@@@@-@@@@
EXISTING_MAP_DATA_PATHS=“\\FileServer\Directory\<path that contains the
ADC or cd.txt file>|\\File Server\Directory Path 2\<path that contains
the ADC or cd.txt file>”

How to Use INSTALL_FEATURES and DISABLE_FEATURES
These properties make it easier to control optional feature installation. To disable a default feature and its
child features, simply add it to the DISABLE_FEATURES property. To install a feature that is not included
by default, then add it to the INSTALL_FEATURES list. This can be done on the command line or in a
transform. Note that feature names are case sensitive. If you add a feature that is installed by default to
the INSTALL_FEATURES list, then there should be no effect on the installation. If you add a feature that
is not installed by default to the DISABLE_FEATURES list, then there should be no effect on the
installation. See the Optional Feature List
for the list of features that can be controlled with these
properties.
