Select the target object for the Target transformation on the Target tab of the Properties panel.
The properties that you configure for the target object vary based on the connection type and the mapping type.
The following image shows the Target tab for an Amazon Redshift target:
1Target details where you configure the target connection, target type, target object, and target operation.
You can select a target object in the following ways:
Select the connection and target object.
In the Details area, select the target connection, target type, and target object. You can create a new connection. For flat file and relational targets, you can also create the target object at run time. For mappings in SQL ELT mode, you configure the target connection in the mapping properties instead of in the Target transformation.
If you use an existing target object, select the target from a list of target objects and link the target to the upstream transformation. If the target table changes, you must update the Target transformation to match it. If the physical target and the Target transformation do not match, the mapping fails.
If you use an existing target object for a flat file target, the existing target is overwritten when you run the mapping task.
Use a parameter.
You can use input parameters to define the target connection and target object when you run the mapping task. For more information about parameters, see Mappings.
You must also define the target operation. The available target operations vary based on the connection type.
