Export to PowerCenter Overview
You can export objects from the Developer tool to use in PowerCenter®.
You can export the following objects:
- •Mappings. Export mappings to PowerCenter mappings or mapplets.
- •Mapplets. Export mapplets to PowerCenter mapplets.
- •Logical data object models. Export the logical data object models to PowerCenter mapplets.
You export objects to a PowerCenter repository or to an XML file. If you export objects to an XML file, PowerCenter users can import the file into the PowerCenter repository.
When you export objects, you specify export options such as the PowerCenter release, how to convert mappings and mapplets, and whether to export reference tables.
You can export mappings and mapplets that contain parameters. The parameters resolve to the default values when you import the mappings to the PowerCenter repository.
You must install Metadata Converter on the machine that host the PowerCenter Express client to export objects from PowerCenter Express to PowerCenter.
