When you include a mapplet in mapping, the mapplet computes the value of the outputs and passes the output values to the mapping. You can bind more than one output from a mapplet to the same output at the mapping level. You can also bind system-defined outputs from a mapplet to the mapping outputs. The mapplet outputs and the mapping outputs must be the same type.

For example, a mapplet might return the maximum value of a Salary port, a Bonus port, and a Commission port in three mapping outputs.

The following image shows the Out_Salary, Out_Bonus, and Out_Commission mapping outputs in the

Outputs

view:

The

Outputs

view contains the following fields:

For each mapping output in the mapplet, create an associated output expression in the Expression transformation. Each expression identifies the fields to aggregate.

The following image shows the mapping output expressions in the Expression transformation:

For this example, the Expression transformation aggregates the Salary and Commission port values. The Out_Bonus mapping output is an expression that includes the Bonus port value plus 10% of the Bonus.
