Preview Map Results Page
Use the Preview Map Results page (EOEW_TARPREVIEW) to view a subset of your data based on the defined map.
Click the Preview button to view a subset of the results based on your map definition.
Use this feature to check the validity of the map. By previewing what the results of running the map would be against a small set of data, you can determine if your mappings are defined correctly.
Note: Attempting to preview complex maps can quickly consume processing and memory resources on your application server.
The preview maximum row count is set using the Data Transformer Installation Options page. Large row counts take more time and resources to preview. Consider setting your preview row count relatively low.
