task that uses the mapping that you just designed.
Now that you have a valid mapping, you can use the
mapping
task wizard to create tasks based on the mapping. Because you used parameters in the mapping, each time you run the task, you can change the parameter values. After the task runs, you'll have a target table that contains customer information for the country that you enter in the filter condition parameter.
To create a
mapping
task based on the mapping, while still in the Mapping Designer, click
Actions
and select
New Mapping Task
, as shown in the following image:
The
mapping
task wizard opens.
On the
Definition
page, enter
mt_CustomersByCountry
for the name of the task.
Select the runtime environment to use to run this task. It should be the same runtime environment that you used to create and test the mapping, in this case, the Informatica Cloud Hosted Agent.
The following image shows the

page in the
mapping
task wizard:
