Using the Copy As Command in Informatica Designer

In Informatica once mapping is created and if we want to overwrite on the same mapping then we need to create a copy of that mapping as a backup. For creating a copy we need to use Copy as command. When we create a mapping using Copy as command then another mapping same as that of the original is created. This reduces the complexity in duplicating a mapping

To use the Copy As command to copy a mapping:

• Open a mapping in the Mapping Designer
• Click Mappings > Copy As.
• It will prompt for entering a new name. Enter a new mapping name
• Click OK.
