what is difference between mapping and mapplet ?

Question

I have been trying this since a week now. But I would like to use Filter Transformation or any alternative way to Filter records in Informatica Developer (Informatica Data Quality).

I have a field called Output which is generated in a Mapplet which contains two cases, 'pass' or 'fail'

I would like to view the results of only fail records.

Is there a way I can do this using a Mapplet?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Mapping is developed for what data will move to target,what the modifications done upon that.Mapping is the collection of source,target,transformations and mapplets.

Mapplets is only collection of transformations.It is a reusable object and you can use it in any mapping for that particular folder.Mapplet is meant for a particular complex work done lets say sale tax calculation.In mapplet you can use source but can't use another mapplet.
