wat s mapping parameter and mapping variable? how do you set that in a mapping?..

Answer / chinna

A mapping parameter represents a constant value that you
can define before running a session. A mapping parameter
retains the same value throughout the entire session.

Unlike a mapping parameter, a mapping variable represents a
value that can change through the session. The PowerCenter
Server saves the value of a mapping variable to the
repository at the end of each successful session run and
uses that value the next time you run the session.

Answer / basha

Mapping parameter is a parameter whose value does not change
through out the session run.This will take the value from
the parameter file.
Mapping variable value will be saved by session so this
value can be used from the next sessions runs.
