In Informatica 10.x, Developer tool users can create dynamic mappings. A dynamic mapping is a mapping in which you can change sources, targets, and transformation logic at run time based on parameters and rules that you define. In a dynamic mapping, the source, target, or lookup schemas can change at run time. A dynamic mapping can also contain ports that can receive new or changed columns based on the data flow in a mapping.

Metadata Manager does not support metadata extraction for dynamic mappings. If an Informatica Platform 10.x application includes a dynamic mapping, you can create an Informatica Platform resource from the application. However, when you view the dynamic mapping in Metadata Manager, the mapping might differ from the corresponding Developer tool mapping and from the run-time version of the mapping.
