Mapping Output Specification

The Mapping Output Specification step is an output placeholder used inside a mapping sub-transformation.

Use this step to define where the parent transformation can read output rows from the sub-transformation.

You can think of it as a special output step that passes rows back to the parent transformation at runtime.

When to use

Use Mapping Output Specification when your transformation is designed to be executed as a mapping (for example, from the Mapping step or the Simple Mapping (sub-transformation) step).

A sub-transformation can contain:

  • One Mapping Output Specification step (common)

  • Multiple Mapping Output Specification steps (multiple outputs)

  • No Mapping Output Specification steps (no output)
