Hi y'll,


What is data mapping, please?

Hi
Data mapping is the process of creating data element mappings between two distinct data models. Data mapping is used as a first step for a wide variety of data integration tasks including:

Data transformation or data mediation between a data source and a destination
Identification of data relationships as part of data lineage analysis
Discovery of hidden sensitive data such as the last four digits social security number hidden in another user id as part of a data masking or de-identification project
Consolidation of multiple databases into a single data base and identifying redundant columns of data for consolidation or elimination

Business objects:5 yrs
Business analysis is the gap filler between the top management (Non IT) & IT, Thus a BA,s job is to understand what client wants, document it, tell the IT guy what needs to be done and deliver it to the client. Experience wise, i would say 2-3 yrs to start.

sol :. A mapping specifies how to move and transform data from sources to targets. Mappings include source and target definitions and transformations. Transformations describe how the PowerCenter Server transforms data. Mappings can also include shortcuts, reusable transformations, and mapplets. Use the Mapping Designer tool in the Designer to create mappings.
