Answer / chinna
A mapping parameter represents a constant value that you
can define before running a session. A mapping parameter
retains the same value throughout the entire session.
Unlike a mapping parameter, a mapping variable represents a
value that can change through the session. The PowerCenter
Server saves the value of a mapping variable to the
repository at the end of each successful session run and
uses that value the next time you run the session.

these values at a file and store at a location ,the path
will be declared at session properties and the parameter
name is declered at designer->parameters&variables ----

will take the values from the file
variables ---declearing as same above but for parmeter we

Answer / basha
Mapping parameter is a parameter whose value does not change
through out the session run.This will take the value from
the parameter file.
Mapping variable value will be saved by session so this
value can be used from the next sessions runs.

CANNOT USE PARAMETER FILE! Hi all, I am trying to use parameter file for my workflow. This could help me to filter records where CITY = 'Portland' Following is what I have done: **in Designer - create new parameter : $$PARA_FIL, Parameter, String, IsExprVar=TRUE, Initial value = [empty] - Source Qualifier/ Properties/Source Filter: CUSTOMERS.CITY='$$PARA_FIL' **Create Parameter file: C:\Informatica\PowerCenter8.6.0 \server\infa_shared\BWParam\DynamicParamTest.txt $$PARA_FIL='Portland' **Configure workflow to use the parameter file: Edit Workflow/Properties/Parameter Filename: C:\Informatica\PowerCenter8.6.0 \server\infa_shared\BWParam\DynamicParamTest.txt I also configured directory of parameter file for session task. However, I just got this in the session log: [SQ_CUSTOMERS] SQL Query [SELECT CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMER_ID FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE CUSTOMERS.CITY='$$PARA_FIL'] No record has been loaded to target. It seems that the parameter file has not been read. I cannot understand the reason why. Could any of you kindly suggest me anything? Thanks
