Export a Parameter File

Export a Parameter File

You can export a mapping parameter file or a workflow parameter file from the Developer tool. Define the parameters in the Developer tool and then export them to a file. The Developer tool creates a parameter file in .XML format.
You can export a parameter file that contains mapping parameters or workflow parameters. You can export parameters from the mapping
Parameters
tab or from the workflow
Parameters
tab. The Developer tool exports all the parameters from the
Parameters
tab.
To export a parameter file, perform the following steps:
  1. Define the parameters and the parameter defaults for a mapping or a workflow.
  2. On the
    Parameters
    tab of the mapping or workflow
    Properties
    , click the
    Export Parameter File
    option.
  3. Enter a name for the parameter file and browse for a location to put the file.
  4. Click
    Save
    .
The following image shows the
Export Parameter File
option on the Parameters tab for a workflow:
The workflow Parameters tab has an option called Export Parameter File. The screenshot shows a string workflow parameter called Workflow_Parm. It has a default value of 100.
When you export a parameter file, the Developer tool creates a parameter file with either mapping parameters or workflow parameters in it. The Developer tool does not export mapping and workflow parameters to the same file.
For example, when you export the workflow parameter, Workflow_Parm, the Developer tool creates the following parameter file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> -<root version="2.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.informatica.com/Parameterization/1.0"> -<project name="Orders"> -<workflow name="Customer_Workflow"> <parameter name="Workflow_Parm">100</parameter> </workflow> </project> </root>
