what are the perameter and variable?..

Answer / bsgsr

parameter and variables used in the mappings indeed make
them reusable incase a single element of the mapping needs
to be changed. This way it saves the dev time to build the
whole mapping again.

parameter once defined and value is assigned will not
change its value during the session run.

Unlike parameter, a variable changes its value through out
the session run.

this is my prception of the question.

Answer / jang

Mostly Parameters are used, where u want mapping to do
Change Data Capture, here we use the Source port value
compare against Parameter value in SQL override of SQ TRN.
Once this WFl completes , immd...then update the parameter
value using other WFL.

The syntax to declare a Parameter is
[Foldername.WF:workflowname.ST:sessiontaskname]$$parametername
='date value' or 'value'.
