When you configure a task, you specify which workflow parameters and variables the task requires. The Data Integration Service copies the workflow parameter and variable values to the task when the task starts.

Mapping tasks, Command tasks, and Human tasks include an

Input

view to configure the workflow parameters and variables that the task requires. You can configure parameters for Mapping task configuration properties on the

Input

view.

You can reference workflow parameters for other tasks in different task views. For example, configure a workflow parameter that contains an email address in the

Notification

view of Notification task.

You can use workflow parameters in expressions in the conditional sequence flows from an outgoing gateway. The Data Integration Service evaluates the parameter values and identifies the object or objects to run next in the workflow.
