Creating a Mapping Template Manually

You can use the Informatica Stencil and the Informatica toolbar to create a mapping template. Save and publish a mapping template to create the mapping template files.

To create a mapping template manually, complete the following steps:

Start Mapping Architect for Visio
.

Verify that the Informatica Stencil and Informatica toolbar are available
.

Drag the mapping objects from the Informatica Stencil to the drawing window.
Use the mapping objects to create visual representation of the mapping.

Create links.
Create links to connect mapping objects.

Configure link rules.
Configure rules for each link in the mapping template to indicate how data moves from one mapping object to another. Use parameters to make the rules flexible.

Configure the mapping objects.
Add a group or expression required by the transformations in the mapping template. To create multiple mappings, set a parameter for the source or target definition.

Declare mapping parameters and variables to use when you run sessions in PowerCenter.
After you import the mappings created from the mapping template into PowerCenter, you can use the mapping parameters and variables in the session or workflow.

Validate the mapping template.

Save the mapping template.
Save changes to the mapping template drawing file.

Publish the mapping template.
When you publish the mapping template, Mapping Architect for Visio generates a mapping template XML file and a mapping template parameter file (param.xml).

If you edit the mapping template drawing file after you publish it, you need to publish again. Do not edit the mapping template XML file.
