Use the assets in a bundle when the assets are designed to meet the same objectives as your project.
How you can include bundle assets in your project depends on the permissions that the bundle designer designates for the bundle. You can perform one of the following actions depending on which option the bundle designer allows:
•Copy the bundle assets to your project folder and edit the assets for your project. Bundles that allow copy only can be located in any project folder.
•Reference the bundle assets. Select the assets from the Add-on Bundles project when you configure a task. You cannot change a bundle that only allows reference. Bundles that allow reference only are always located in the Add-on Bundles project.
•Copy or reference the bundle assets. Either copy the bundle assets to your project folder or reference the bundle assets in the Add-on Bundles project. Bundles that allow reference or copy are always located in the Add-on Bundles project.
Copying bundle assets
If a bundle allows the copy action, you can copy all of the assets in a bundle to a project or folder.
1On the Explore page, explore by projects and navigate to the Add-On Bundles folder.
2Open the Add-On Bundles folder.
3In the row that contains the bundle, click Actions and select Copy Bundle Content To.
4Browse to the folder to contain the bundle assets and click Select.
Referencing bundle assets
Certain asset types allow you to select an asset to use in the asset. If a bundle allows the reference action, you can select the assets in the bundle to use in your asset.
In Data Integration, you can use bundle assets in mapping tasks, data tasks in a taskflow, and mappings with Mapplet transformations. For example, to create a Data Integrationmapping task, you need to specify a mapping to use for the task. You can select a mapping that is in a bundle if the bundle allows the reference action.
1Click Select in the asset that you're working on, and then navigate to the Add-On Bundles folder.
2Open the bundle folder that contains the asset you want to use.
3Click the row that contains the asset, and then click Select.
