What is parameter mapping in SAP EP-PIN - Portal Infrastructure?

SAP Term: parameter mapping

• Component: EP-PIN

• Component Name: Portal Infrastructure

• Description: The method by which a parameter used by object-based navigation OBN ensures a navigation parameter receives the desired value from a back-end application, even when the OBN parameter name and the parameter name in the back end are not identical. For example, location information in a navigation source may include the parameter city when the parameter name for the same data on the navigation target is town. The ability to map parameters ensures that the OBN target receives parameter values in the way that it expects, and so can display business information correctly.
