Mapping Table Descriptors within a Workflow

When you add a Load Set, Program, Report Set or Data Mart instance to the Workflow through a Workflow instance, you cannot map Table instances to Table Descriptors from the executable's screen. You must use the Table Instances from Existing Table Descriptors job from the Actions drop-down list on the Workflow's Properties screen.

See Adding a New Target Table Descriptor for further information.

If you create a Load Set or a Program in the same Work Area where your Workflow instance is located, and then create a new instance of that Load Set or Program inside the Work Area, the system does not allow you to map the instance in the Workflow to the same target Table instances. Only one executable can write to any particular Table instance. You can do either of the following:

• Create new Table instances and map them to the Program or Load Set instance that is contained in the Workflow. You can use the Table Instances from Existing Table Descriptors job in the Actions drop-down list to create the Table instances and map them automatically.

• Unmap the target Table instances from the instance of the Program or Load Set that is contained directly in the Work Area.

  If you unmap before adding the Program or Load Set to the Workflow, and if the Table instances have the same name as the Table Descriptors, you can run the Automatic Mapping By Name job in the Actions drop-down list after you add the instances to the Workflow.
