The mapping properties contain the

Validation Environments

area and an

Execution Environment

area. The properties in the

Validation Environment

indicate whether the Developer tool validates the mapping definition for the native execution environment, the non-native execution environment, or both. When you run a mapping in the native environment, the Data Integration Service processes the mapping.

When you run a mapping in the non-native environment, the Data Integration Service pushes the mapping execution to the compute cluster through a runtime connection. The engine in the compute cluster processes the mapping.
