Overview

Parameters are placeholders that represent values in a mapping or mapplet. Use parameters to hold values that you want to define at run-time such as a source connection, a target object, or the join condition for a Joiner transformation. Parameters can also hold dynamic values that change between task runs, like a timestamp that increments with each mapping execution.

Informatica Cloud allows you to override Input and In-Out parameters defined within a mapping, as well as Parameter Files configured in a mapping task.

Parameters can be overridden at runtime using parameter files, task flows, or the parameter set CLI.
