Configuring a mapping with an SAP Table source

Use the Data Integration Mapping Designer to configure a mapping and describe the data flow between the source and target. You can also configure filter and sort options, advanced source properties, key range partitioning, and transformations in the mapping.
    1To create a mapping, click Data Integration > New > Mappings. Select Mapping and click Create.
    2Enter a name and description for the mapping, and click OK.
    You can use alphanumeric characters and underscores (_) in the mapping name.
    3To configure a source, on the Transformation palette, click Source.
    4In the Properties panel, on the General tab, enter a name and description.
    5Click the Source tab and configure source details.
    6Specify the source type. You can choose one of the following options:
    7Click Query Options in the Source tab to specify any filter and sort options for the SAP object.
    8Click Advanced to specify the advanced source properties.
    9To add or remove source fields, to update field metadata, or to synchronize fields with the source, click the Fields tab.
    Note: You can edit the type, precision, and scale in the SAP table source object metadata.
    10To configure key range partitioning, click the Partitions tab.
    1. aIn the Partition Key field, select the required partition key from the list.
    2. bIn the Key Ranges section, click Add New Key Range to define the number of partitions and the key ranges based on which the Secure Agent must partition data.
    3. Use a blank value for the start range to indicate the minimum value. Use a blank value for the end range to indicate the maximum value.
    11To add a transformation, on the Transformation palette, click the transformation name. Or, drag the transformation onto the mapping canvas.
    1. aOn the General tab, you can enter a name and description for the transformation.
    2. bDraw a link to connect the previous transformation to the transformation.
    3. When you link transformations, the downstream transformation inherits the incoming fields from the previous transformation.
      For a Joiner transformation, draw a master link and a detail link.
    4. cTo preview fields, configure the field rules, or rename fields, click Incoming Fields.
    5. dConfigure additional transformation properties, as needed.
    6. The properties that you configure vary based on the type of transformation you create.
    7. eTo add another transformation, repeat these steps.
    12To add a Target transformation, on the Transformation palette, click Target.
    1. aOn the General tab, you can enter a name and description.
    2. bDraw a link to connect the previous transformation to the Target transformation.
    3. cClick the Target tab and configure target details. If necessary, configure the advanced target properties.
    4. Target details and advanced target properties appear based on the connection type. For more information, see Transformations.
    5. dTo preview fields, configure the field rules, or rename fields, click Incoming Fields.
    6. eClick Field Mapping and map the fields that you want to write to the target.
    7. fTo add another Target transformation, repeat these steps.
    13Save and run the mapping or save and create a mapping task.
