Mapping Specification Template

Mapping Specification Template

Mapping Analyst for Excel includes the Standard mapping specification template that you can use to develop a mapping specification in Microsoft Excel. The Standard mapping specification template is a Microsoft Excel file installed with the PowerCenter Client that defines the structure for a mapping specification.
The Standard mapping specification template contains the following Excel worksheets:
  • Models. Use to configure all source and target definitions.
  • Packages. Use to configure the hierarchy of packages in each model.
  • Domains. Use to configure reference data within a mapping specification.
  • Enumerations. Use to configure a list of reference values for each domain.
  • Mappings. Use to configure a mapping name, source and target port connections, and aggregate and non-aggregate expressions. You can configure multiple mappings on one Mappings worksheet.
  • Joins. Use to join source data from two related heterogeneous sources residing in different locations or file systems.
  • Lookups. Use to configure a lookup to find data outside the mapping pipeline.
  • Filters. Use to configure a filter to remove source data from the mapping pipeline.
  • Rules. Use to configure reusable rules that you can use as expressions on the Mappings worksheet.
The Standard mapping specification template also includes a Relationships worksheet that PowerCenter does not use. As a result, the Relationships worksheet is not supported.
The Standard mapping specification template, Standard-Blank.xlsx, is in the following directory:
