3In the Properties panel, enter m_Accounts_by_State for the mapping name.
You can use underscores in mapping and transformation names, but do not use other special characters.
Tip: Informatica recommends that you use a standard naming convention for objects. For example, begin all object names with an abbreviation of the object type so that mapping names begin with m_, Source transformation names begin with src_, parameter names begin with p_, and so on. Also, use names that explain the purpose of the object, for example, flt_Filter_by_State. A standard naming convention is particularly helpful when you are working with large, complex mappings so that you can easily identify the type and purpose of each object.
4To select a location for the mapping, browse to the folder you want the mapping to reside in, or use the default location.
If the Explore page is currently active and a project or folder is selected, the default location for the asset is the selected project or folder. Otherwise, the default location is the location of the most recently saved asset.
