When you configure a Greenplum connection, you define the connection attributes that the gpload utility uses to connect to the Greenplum database. You can use Greenplum connections to specify sources

or targets

in mappings and

mapping

tasks. You can parameterize the Greenplum connection in the Source

or Target

transformation.

Create a connection and associate it with a mapping or

mapping

task. You can create a Greenplum connection on the

Connections

page and use it in the Mapping Designer when you create a mapping. The connection becomes available to the entire organization.
