When you define a Source transformation in a mapping, specify a name for the transformation, a VSAM connection, the source type, and the data map tables for the VSAM source object. You can also set some additional source properties. The PWX Bulk Metadata Adapter retrieves metadata for the source table from the PowerExchange-generated data map, including the field definitions.

In the user's environment, the target can reside on premises or in a cloud. If you do not want to send all of the incoming fields to the target, you can define one or more exclusion field rules. As part of configuring the target, you must also map the incoming fields to the target fields. You can map fields automatically based on the field names or map them manually.
