Parameters are placeholders that represent values in a

mapping

task. You can use a taskflow to pass input parameters and in-out parameters to a task.

A parameter file is a list of user-defined parameters and their associated values.

If the parameter file contains sections and parameters for taskflows and

mapping

tasks, you can save the parameter file in the location where the

Data Integration

job runs. For more information about parameter files, see

Mappings
