Parameter Set Rules and Guidelines

Consider the following rules and guidelines when you assign a parameter set to one or more mappings or workflows in a resource:

Parameter set assignment for a mapping is optional.: If you do not assign a parameter set to a mapping that uses parameters, Metadata Manager extracts the mapping using the parameter default values.
You can assign one parameter set to each mapping in a resource.: Therefore, you cannot extract different versions of a mapping in the same resource. If you want to see metadata for different mapping versions, create multiple resources and assign a different parameter set to the mapping in each resource.
In Informatica Platform 10.1.1 resources, you can assign a parameter set to mappings within a workflow.: If you create the resource from a version 10.1.1 application that is deployed to a Data Integration Service, Metadata Manager extracts mappings within deployed workflows. To assign a parameter set to a mapping within a workflow, assign the parameter set to the workflow when you create or edit the resource. The parameter set that you assign applies to all mappings within the workflow.
You can assign the same parameter set to multiple mappings.: If a parameter set is used in multiple mappings, you can assign the parameter set to multiple mappings and workflows. The parameter set, mappings, and workflows must be in the same application.
Metadata Manager cannot use parameter values for parameters in transformation expressions or conditions.: Developer tool users can use parameters in expressions or conditions in transformations such as the Aggregator, Filter, Expression, Joiner, or Lookup transformation. For example, a Developer tool user can use a parameter in the join condition of a Joiner transformation. Metadata Manager cannot use parameter values for parameters in transformation expressions or conditions. Metadata Manager uses the default values for parameters in transformation expressions and conditions.
Metadata Manager cannot use parameter values for parameters in custom SQL queries.: Developer tool users can use parameters in custom SQL queries in customized data objects and Lookup transformations. Metadata Manager cannot use parameter values for parameters in custom SQL queries. Metadata Manager uses the default values for parameters in custom SQL queries.
You cannot use parameter sets with virtual table mappings.: If an application includes a virtual table mapping that uses parameters, Metadata Manager extracts the virtual table mapping with the parameter default values.
