Making a copy of a mapping

[jisoo23]

Hello all,

Quick question: if I were to make a copy of a mapping via the "Mappings --> Copy As.." option, would that mapping copy refer to the same source/transformation objects? By that I mean if I were to make changes to the logic of a transformation in the mapping copy, would the original mapping be affected as well?

Thanks!

No, normally the mapping has its own copies of each object.
When you say "source/" what do you mean? Sources are edited in the source analyzer, not the mapping, and changing a source in your folder would affect all the mappings that use that source.
If you have reusable objects then editing them in the Transformations would affect everything.
Otherwise the mappings are independent.
