Non-Reusable Transformations
A non-reusable transformation is a transformation that you create in a specific mapping. You cannot use the transformation in any other mapping.
For example, you might create a mapping that contains multiple transformations. Each transformation performs calculations on the source data. You create a non-reusable Aggregator transformation at the end of the mapping to process the results. When you create a non-reusable transformation, you can drag the ports from one transformation to another transformation in the mapping and create the input ports.
The Developer tool stores the non-reusable Aggregator transformation as metadata that it keeps with the mapping.
