You can configure parameters in the following ways:
Parameters
Parameters are placeholders that represent values in a mapping task. You can use a taskflow to pass input parameters and in-out parameters to a task.
Parameter files
A parameter file is a list of user-defined parameters and their associated values.
If the parameter file contains sections and parameters for taskflows and mapping tasks, you can save the parameter file in the location where the Data Integration job runs. For more information about parameter files, see Mappings.
