When a workflow includes multiple Mapping tasks that contain the same mapping, you can configure the Mapping tasks to run the mapping differently. You can also assign a workflow parameter or variable to a user-defined mapping parameter in a Mapping task so that you can run the mapping with distinct parameter values.

For example, you add two Mapping tasks that each contain MappingA to a single workflow. You configure the first Mapping task to run MappingA with a connection to the Sales database. You configure the second Mapping task to run MappingA with a connection to the Finance database.
