You can automatically assign mapping parameters to workflow parameters or workflow variables on the Mapping task
;
tab.
Choose the
Auto-Assign
option to generate a workflow parameter or a workflow variable to bind to a mapping parameter in one step. You can also assign mapping parameters to workflow parameters or to workflow variables that you created previously.
To auto-assign a mapping parameter, select the mapping parameter in the
Input
column and click
Auto-Assign
.
The following image shows the Auto-Assign dialog box:
Choose from the following options to assign the mapping parameter to a workflow parameter or to a workflow variable:
Workflow Parameters
Assign the mapping parameter to a workflow parameter. A workflow parameter name must exist with the same name as the mapping parameter name. The Developer tool does not match the parameters by parameter type. If the workflow has no parameter to assign the mapping parameter to, you can choose to create new parameters if no match.
Create new parameters if no match
Generate a workflow parameter with the same name as the selected mapping parameter. Workflow parameters are string types or connection types. If you create a workflow parameter from a mapping parameter that is not a string or a connection type, the Developer tool creates a string workflow parameter. The Developer tool binds the string workflow parameter to the mapping parameter.
Workflow Variables
Assign the mapping parameter to a workflow variable. The workflow variable must exist and the workflow variable name must be the same as the mapping parameter name. You cannot use the Auto-Assign option to create a workflow variable.
