Mapping task templates

Use a mapping task template to run a mapping task without creating a mapping beforehand.
Each mapping task template is based upon a mapping template. Use a mapping task template when the mapping on which the mapping task template is based suits your needs. When you select a mapping task template, Data Integration creates a copy of the template for you to use. When you define the mapping task in the task wizard, you save a copy of the mapping template on which the mapping task template is based.
Available templates are divided into categories on the Templates page. You can also view all templates, filter and sort the page, or search for a specific template.

Mapping task templates are available on the Templates page. In this image, the All templates tab is open and shows four templates. The page also has tabs for Integration templates, Cleansing templates, Warehousing templates, and Industry Solutions templates. Each template has an option to create a mapping task or a mapping based on the template.
The templates range from simple templates that you can use to copy data from one source to another, to complex templates that you can use for data warehousing-related tasks. Drill down on a template to view more information about it, including the mapping image.
