Mappings and Mapping Configuration Tasks with ODBC Connector Overview

Use the Informatica Cloud Mapping Designer to create a mapping. When you create a mapping, you configure a source or target to represent an ODBC object.
Validate and run the mapping to read data from sources, and write to a target.
Describe the flow of data from source and target along with the required transformations before the agent writes data to the target. When you create a Mapping Configuration task, select the mapping that you want to use. Use the Mapping Configuration Task wizard to create a Mapping Configuration task. The Mapping Configuration task processes data based on the data flow logic you define in the mapping.
