OWB - Pre-mapping process operator
About
Use a Pre-Mapping Process operator to define a procedure to be executed before running a mapping. To use a Pre-Mapping Process operator in a mapping, Drag and drop a Pre-Mapping Process operator onto the Mapping Editor canvas.
For example, you can use a Pre-Mapping Process operator to :
- truncate tables in a staging area before running a mapping that loads tables to that staging area.
- disable indexes before running a mapping that loads data to a target.
And you can then use a Post Mapping Process Operator to reenable and build the indexes after running the mapping that loads data to the target.
