Hello,
some questions how to change maps.
How often deploys PTV a new map version? How old are these maps?
How do I change a map?
Is it necessary to delete folders like "dima"?
Best regards
Michael Seidler

Re: Changing Map
Hello Mr. Seidler,
we have to distinguish between
By the way: the same action is necessary if you update the servers because the distance matrix component may change the storage format internally...
I hope this answer helps you to understand how to proceed,
otherwise let me know what you are missing,

we have to distinguish between
- standard maps such as Europe city, North America city... these maps are updated automatically. Usual period is one update every 6 months (2014.1, ...2014.2, ...2015.1..). Within these versions we provide some small data updates such as toll updates.
- project maps: they are usually prepared once within a given project and an update is a change request and provided after a sales offer.
- copy the map folder to the local machine into an empty directory, e.g. c:\ptv\xserver\maps\EuropeCity-2014.2T (I recommend to label the directory based on the map data version - this simplifies the update)
- update the module config file (e.g. xmap.properties): map.path=c:\ptv\xserver\maps\EuropeCity-2014.2T
- restart the service
