Altova MapForce Server is based on the built-in data transformation engine developed for MapForce and performs data transformations for any combination of XML, database, EDI, XBRL, flat file, Excel, JSON, and/or Web service using preprocessed and optimized data mappings stored in MapForce Server Execution files. When MapForce Server operates under the management of FlowForce Server, data mappings can be executed as FlowForce Server job steps.

Parameters defined in the FlowForce Server job allow users to specify runtime input and output filenames or query databases as required by the mapping.
