When you export a mapping or mapplet that contains parameters, the parameters resolve to their default values when you import the parameters to PowerCenter. The import can resolve any SQL expression that contains an parameter.

System parameters resolve to the equivalent PowerCenter system parameters. If PowerCenter does not have the equivalent system parameter, the system parameter reference remains in the mapping after you import it to PowerCenter. You need to edit the mapping and change the reference.

You cannot export mapping outputs to PowerCenter. If a mapping contains mapping outputs, the mapping is not valid in PowerCenter after you import it.
