Task Input

Task input is the data that passes into a task from workflow parameters and variables. The task uses the input data to complete a unit of work.
When you configure a task, you specify which workflow parameters and variables the task requires. The Data Integration Service copies the workflow parameter and variable values to the task when the task starts.
Some tasks include an Input tab where you specify the workflow parameters and variables that the task requires. For other tasks, you specify the workflow parameters and variables needed by the task in other tabs.
