Mapping Parameters: Mapping parameter is a constant value which points to any datatype in the entire mapping. its value will not be changed as earlier said. Mapping variable: Mapping variable is same thing like mapping parameter except its value will be changed in the mapping. For define the value you can give the intial value or you can create mapping parameter file. But in the file you should specify the folder name. session name . Ex: [foldername.sessionname] $$parameter1=100; Otherwise informatica server can not recognize the session.
