Understanding Mapplet Input and Output

Understanding Mapplet Input and Output

To use a mapplet in a mapping, you must configure it for input and output. In addition to transformation logic that you configure, a mapplet has the following components:
  • Mapplet input.
    You can pass data into a mapplet using source definitions or Input transformations or both. When you use an Input transformation, you connect it to the source pipeline in the mapping.
  • Mapplet output.
    Each mapplet must contain one or more Output transformations to pass data from the mapplet into the mapping.
  • Mapplet ports.
    Mapplet ports display only in the Mapping Designer. Mapplet ports consist of input ports from Input transformations and output ports from Output transformations. If a mapplet uses source definitions rather than Input transformations for input, it does not contain any input ports in the mapping.
