what is a parameter when and where do u them when does the
value will be created. Designing time, run time. If u don't
create parameter what will happen?

Answer Posted / murthy

oh such a big question!
parameter withn values are generally created in a notepad
in the specified location.IN the mapping go to designer--
>mappingparameters/variables->u set the parameters there .
coming to the usage in realtime what we do is we will
create the source and target connection information in the
parameter files.

one simple example to make u understand it's use is
let's take dollar and rupee relation.dollar value is not
conatant everday it will change ,so u can't change u r
mapping every day,hence what u will do is u will create the
mapping as per the requirement but u will save the dollar
value in the parameter file .so if u want to change it's
value u will change the parameter file not the mapping.

if u didn't get let me knoe i will answer again.

Hi, I've a mapping with flat file source The target update override property for the target table is using update stmt. There is no update strategy between source and target. Also The session has the target properties as Insert , Update as update options checked. Does this mean that recs will be inserted only and the update override will not be applied at all. Thanks
