Creating a Read Transformation in the Mapping Editor

Creating a Read Transformation in the Mapping Editor

You can create a Read transformation to represent the source of data and column metadata and properties in a mapping.
Perform the following steps:
  1. Choose one of the following methods to create a Read transformation:
    • Right-click in the mapping editor and select
      Add Transformation
      .
      The
      Add Transformation
      dialog box opens.
      Select Read transformation and click
      Next
      .
    • Scroll down in the mapping palette to locate and double-click the Read transformation icon.
      The following image shows the Read transformation icon:
    The
    New Read Transformation
    dialog box opens.
  2. To use a flat file, a relational resource, or a customized data object as the source, perform the following steps:
    1. Select
      Physical Data Object
      as the data object type.
    2. Click
      Browse
      to select a flat file, a relational resource, or a customized data object.
      The
      Select Data Object
      window opens.
    3. Select a data object and click
      OK
      .
    4. Optionally, configure the transformation to fetch data object columns from the source at run time. Select
      At run-time, get data object columns from data source
      .
      The Data Integration Service refreshes column metadata for the Read transformation when the mapping runs.
  3. To use a parameter as the source, perform the following steps:
    1. Select
      Create using a parameter
      .
    2. Click
      New
      to create a new parameter, or click
      Browse
      to select an existing parameter.
    3. Select a parameter and click
      OK
      .
    4. Optionally, configure the transformation to fetch data object columns from the source at run time. Select
      At run-time, get data object columns from data source
      .
      The Data Integration Service refreshes column metadata for the Read transformation when the mapping runs.
  4. To use a logical data object as the source, perform the following steps:
    1. Select
      Logical Data Object
      as the data object type.
    2. Click
      Browse
      to select a data object, and then click
      OK
      .
  5. Optionally, type a name for the Read transformation.
  6. Click
    Finish
    .
