Export a Parameter File

You can export a mapping parameter file or a workflow parameter file from the Developer tool. Define the parameters in the Developer tool and then export them to a file. The Developer tool creates a parameter file in .XML format.

You can export a parameter file that contains mapping parameters or workflow parameters. You can export parameters from the mapping

Parameters

tab or from the workflow

Parameters

tab. The Developer tool exports all the parameters from the

Parameters

tab.

To export a parameter file, perform the following steps:

Define the parameters and the parameter defaults for a mapping or a workflow.

On the

Parameters

tab of the mapping or workflow

Properties

, click the

Export Parameter File

option.

Enter a name for the parameter file and browse for a location to put the file.

Click

Save

The following image shows the

Export Parameter File

option on the Parameters tab for a workflow:

When you export a parameter file, the Developer tool creates a parameter file with either mapping parameters or workflow parameters in it. The Developer tool does not export mapping and workflow parameters to the same file.

For example, when you export the workflow parameter, Workflow_Parm, the Developer tool creates the following parameter file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<root version="2.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.informatica.com/Parameterization/1.0">
   -<project name="Orders">
      -<workflow name="Customer_Workflow">
         <parameter name="Workflow_Parm">100</parameter>
      </workflow>
   </project>
</root>
