If you publish from a database source, verify that you publish datatypes that the publication repository can store.

When you develop a subscription workflow, you create a source based on the topic structure from the publication repository. You can copy the source from the publication metadata folder in the PowerCenter repository.

You create the source and target definitions in the PowerCenter Designer in the same way that you create source and target definitions for other mappings. For general information about source and target definitions, see the

PowerCenter Designer Guide
