Step 3. Define a Parameter Value

Before you run a session, define values for mapping parameters in the parameter file. When you do not define a parameter in the parameter file, the Integration Service gets the parameter value from another place. The Integration Service looks for the value in the following order:

Value in parameter file

Value in pre-session variable assignment

Initial value saved in the repository

Datatype default value

Mapping Parameters
