In the
Properties
panel, enter
m_CustomersByCountry
for the mapping name.
You can use underscores in mapping and transformation names, but not other special characters.
Informatica recommends that you use a standard naming convention for objects. For example, you might begin mapping names with m_, Source transformation names with src_, parameter names with p_, and so on. Also, use names that explain the purpose of the object, for example, flt_FilterByCountry. A standard naming convention is helpful when you are working with large, complex mappings so that you can easily identify the type and purpose of each object.
To select a location for the mapping, browse to the folder where you want to store the mapping, or accept the default location.
If the
Explore
page is currently active and a project or folder is selected, the default location for the asset is the selected project or folder. Otherwise, the default location is the location of the most recently saved asset.
