A mapplet is reusable transformation logic that you can use to transform source data before it is loaded into the target.If you are an Informatica PowerCenter user, you can import a PowerCenter mapplet to use in Data Integration.
You can create a mapplet in one of the following ways:
•Create a mapplet in Data Integration.
•Import a mapplet from PowerCenter. For information about importing a mapplet, see PowerCenter mapplets.
•Generate an SAP BAPI or IDoc mapplet. For information about configuring and importing SAP mapplets, see the help for SAP Connector.
Create mapplets in Data Integration in the Mapplet Designer in the same way that you create mappings in the Mapping Designer. After you create a mapplet, you can add it to a Mapplet transformation to use its transformation logic. You can use any transformation in a mapplet except the Web Services transformation.
You can use a mapplet in another mapplet. However, you cannot cyclically reference a mapplet. For example, if Mapplet A uses Mapplet B, Mapplet B cannot also use Mapplet A.
You can't use a mapplet in a mapping in SQL ELT mode.
