All data within a project flows through component ports called IN-ports and OUT-ports. Each port owns the structure of the data flow. You can change the port structures of all components for which the structure is not directly dependent on component configuration. Attributes added to the port structure can be referenced immediately inside the component.
When connecting components, Sybase ETL attempts to create a standard mapping between the OUT-port and the IN-port. You can modify the mapping on a connection in the Mapping window. To open the Mapping window, right-click the connecting link, and select Mapping. See “Viewing current mappings”.
