Differentiate between mapping parameter and mapping variable?
Answer Posted / ysindhureddy77@gmail.com
A mapping parameter is a user definable constant that takes up a value before running a session. It can be used in SQ expressions, Expression transformation etc.
A mapping variable is also defined similar to the parameter except that the value of the variable is subjected to change. It picks up the value in the following order.
From the Session parameter file
As stored in the repository object in the previous run
As defined in the initial values in the designer
Data type Default values

One of the optimizing technique to improve the session performance is push down optimization,by using push down optimization we push as much as transformation logic to source/target database,but this degrades the d/b performance,how to overcome this?
Hi, I saw one mapping implemented by my seniors . In Expression transformation they implemented following logic. That is iif(is_date(in_UC_DATINV,'YYYYMMDD'),to_date(in_UC_DATINV,'Y YYYMMDD'),'Inventory Date is either invalid or null') Inventory_Date is validated only for is_date() But not validated for notisnull() . But error says “ either invalid or null “ why? Whether is_date() also check for not isnull() ? or in this logic something is different ? Please answer me . Advance thanks
