Configuring default parameters

The Parameters page lists the parameters in the mapping. Configure the default values and settings for each parameter on the Parameters page or configure local parameter values and settings when you configure the job.
Some parameter values depend on other parameters. For example, if a mapping contains a target connection and a target object parameter, you must configure the target connection parameter value before you configure the target object parameter value. Configure parameter values from the top down.

    2 For parameters with default scope, select or enter the value of the parameter.
    You can also override this value on the Jobs tab.
