Making existing transformation reusable
In the earlier section, we saw how to use a new transformation as a reusable transforma-
tion. Consider that you already have a transformation that you wish to use in another map-
ping, but as it is nonreusable, you are not able to do so. To solve this issue, we have an op-
tion using which you can make an existing nonreusable transformation reusable. Perform
the following steps to do this:
1. Open the mapping containing the transformation you wish to make reusable in the
Mapping Designer. We are using an existing mapping containing an expression
transformation in order to make it reusable.
2. Double-click on the transformation in order to view the properties of the trans-
formation. You will see an option,
Make reusable
. Click on the box, as shown in
the upcoming screenshot.
A warning message will pop up mentioning that the process is irreversible.
