Creating a Mapplet Transformation

Create a Mapplet transformation in the Mapping Designer.
Before you create a Mapplet transformation, create a mapping and add transformations to the mapping. If the mapplet includes a source, you do not need to add sources or upstream transformations. You can use the following PowerCenter transformations in a mapplet:
    1. In the Transformation palette, drag a Mapplet transformation onto the mapping canvas.
    2. If the mapplet does not include a source, connect the Mapplet transformation to the upstream transformation.
    3. Select the Mapplet transformation.
    Informatica Cloud displays the transformation properties in the Properties panel.
    4. On the General tab, enter a name and optional description for the Mapplet transformation.
    5. On the Mapplet tab, select the mapplet to use in the Mapplet transformation.
    If the mapplet includes connections, configure each connection.
    6. On the Incoming Fields tab, configure the field rules that define how data enters the Mapplet transformation.
    Note: If the mapplet includes sources, you do not configure field rules.
    7. On the Field Mapping tab, configure field mappings to define how data moves from the upstream transformation to the Mapplet transformation.
    Note: If the mapplet includes sources, you do not configure field mappings.
After you configure the Mapplet transformation, you can add downstream transformations to the mapping and configure them. When the mapping is complete, you can validate and save the mapping.
