RE: parameter file
Please place your parameter file in the server "srcfiles" with data in it.In mapping designer window of powercenter designer click on "Mapping" and then "Parameter and variable".Add all the parameter here one by one.

Now you can able to see the variable with "$$" added in the above will be available in your mapping.This variable inturn picks value from the parameter file.Donot forget to give "parameter filename" in the "property" tab of task in workflow manager.

RE: parameter file
Suppose we have certain variable or parameter whoes value which change frequently so we will change that value in Parameter file( it is more feasible as no change in Mapping)
