Use the Informatica Cloud Mapping Designer to configure a mapping.
1. To create a mapping, click Design > Mappings, and then click New Mapping.
The New Mapping dialog box appears.
2. Enter a name and description for the mapping, and click OK.
You can use alphanumeric characters and underscores (_) in the mapping name.
3. To configure a source, on the Transformation palette, click Source.
4. In the Properties panel, on the General tab, enter a name and description.
5. Click the Source tab and configure source details.
6. Specify the source type. You can choose one of the following options:
- - Select Single Object to select a single SAP object.
- - Select Multiple Objects to specify source object, related source object, and configure the relationship between the source objects. You can use custom relationships to join multiple source objects. When you create a custom relationship for SAP Table objects, you can select the type of join and the source fields to use.
- - Select Parameter to configure the source objects in a Mapping Configuration task associated with this mapping.
7. Click Query Options in the Source tab to specify any filter and sort options for the SAP object.
8. Click Advanced to specify the advanced source properties.
9. To add or remove source fields, to update field metadata, or to synchronize fields with the source, click the Fields tab.
10. To add a transformation, on the Transformation palette, click the transformation name. Or, drag the transformation onto the mapping canvas.
- a. On the General tab, you can enter a name and description for the transformation.
- b. Draw a link to connect the previous transformation to the transformation.
When you link transformations, the downstream transformation inherits the incoming fields from the previous transformation.
For a Joiner transformation, draw a master link and a detail link.
- c. To preview fields, configure the field rules, or rename fields, click Incoming Fields.
- d. Configure additional transformation properties, as needed.
The properties that you configure vary based on the type of transformation you create.
- e. To add another transformation, repeat these steps.
11. To add a Target transformation, on the Transformation palette, click Target.
- a. On the General tab, you can enter a name and description.
- b. Draw a link to connect the previous transformation to the Target transformation.
- c. Click the Target tab and configure target details. If necessary, configure the advanced target properties.
Target details and advanced target properties appear based on the connection type. For more information, see the Informatica Cloud Transformation Guide.
- d. To preview fields, configure the field rules, or rename fields, click Incoming Fields.
- e. Click Field Mapping and map the fields that you want to write to the target.
- f. To add another Target transformation, repeat these steps.
12. Save and run the mapping or save and create a Mapping Configuration task.
