Assigning Variables to Task Input

Mapping and Command tasks include an

Input

tab where you specify the workflow variables that the task requires.

In a Mapping and Command task

Input

tab, you can assign task configuration properties to task input to define the value of the property in a workflow variable. The

Advanced

tab for a task lists the task configuration properties.

In a Mapping task

Input

tab, you can also assign user-defined mapping parameters to workflow variables to use workflow run-time data for the user-defined mapping parameter value.
