Step 1. Prepare Mappings for Deployment

Before you deploy mappings for testing, identify the mappings that have been changed and mark the mappings for deployment.

Set up continuous integration to perform the following integration operations:

1. Identify mappings that have been changed.: To identify mappings that have been changed, continuously compare each design-time mapping to the corresponding run-time mapping that is deployed to the Data Integration Service.

To compare mappings, pass a query to the REST API
Compare two queried mappings
or to the command
infacmd dis compareMapping
.
2. Assign a tag to mark the mappings for deployment.: If the comparison report identifies differences between a design-time mapping and the corresponding run-time mapping, assign a tag to the design-time mapping that marks the mapping for deployment.

For example, assign the tag
DeploymentInProgress
to the mapping. You can pass the tag to the REST API
Assign tags to design-time objects
or to the command
infacmd dis tag
.
