How can I pass the location and Name of the flat file which is being used as the source of a mapping.

What I did /tried:

I assumed 2 variables $$SOURCE_DIR and $$SOURCE_FILE. In Workflow Manager, For Tasks or sessions, there is no place where u can go and define the variables/parameters. The only place is in Workflow Definition. So I created these 2 variables there and used in the SOURCE/PROPERTIES in the TASK Instance in the workflow.

When I ran the workflow, INFORMATICA does not identify the passed values as parameters. It fails. Cant we supply these values from parameter files ??
I supplied the values in parameter file under the name of Session Name and workflow name as well.................

Cant we use parameter and parameter files mechanism for Workflows, sessions and tasks..................
