    RDz currently exposes some client side API (i.e. - Remote Resource API) so that customers can extend the product. RDz also provides the ability to execute some functionality (i.e. - Web Services generation) in a batch process, without requiring the RDz UI to be running (sometimes referred to as headless mode). Could you provide more details so that we may determine if this RFE is (1) to provide a programmatic interface to the Generate Symbolic Map function on the client, or (2) to provide the Generate Symbolic Map function in a headless manner?
