Now that we have learned how to use Sources and Targets in PowerCenter. We will now start using these sources and targets in mappings. As mentioned earlier in the PowerCenter Designer, we only deal with the metadata of sources and targets, we do have an option to preview the data of the source and target that we imported by providing the path/connection for files or tables. This gives us an option to understand the data clearly before we move ahead with the next step.
