Mapping and Mapping Configuration Tasks with SAP Table Overview
Use a mapping to define data flow logic that is not available in Data Synchronization tasks, such as specific ordering of logic or joining sources from different systems. Use the Informatica Cloud Mapping Designer to configure mappings.
When you configure a mapping to describe the flow of data from source and target, you can also add transformations to transform data. A transformation includes field rules to define incoming fields. Links visually represent how data moves through the data flow.
After you create a mapping, you can run the mapping or you can deploy the mapping in a Mapping Configuration task. The Mapping Configuration application allows you to process data based on the data flow logic defined in a mapping or integration template.
Use the Mapping Configuration Task wizard to create a Mapping Configuration task. When you create a Mapping Configuration task, you select the mapping or integration template for the task to use.
If you configured parameters, which are placeholders for information, in a mapping, you can define the parameters in the Mapping Configuration task. Defining parameters provides additional flexibility and allows you to use the same mapping in multiple Mapping Configuration tasks. For example, you can use a parameter for a source connection in a mapping, and then define the source connection when you configure the Mapping Configuration task.
When you create a Mapping Configuration task, you can associate the task with a schedule to run it at specified times or on regular intervals. Or, you can run it manually. You can also configure advanced session properties. You can monitor tasks that are currently running in the activity monitor and view details about completed tasks in the activity log.
