Salesforce Objects as Source in Mapping Template

Question

I need mass generation of mappings using Salesforce Objects as a source and Oracle as a target with no transformations. I used cloud version of Mapping Architect of Vision and create a template with normal source and target and Application Source Qualifier. I also mentioned Salesforce as the database type. However, when importing into Informatica PowerCenter Designer, it shows all other sources except for Salesforce sources. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
When Iam Trying to excute the mapping Which is having Lookup Override (dynamic cache enabled) on Teradata Target tables it causing unexpected error.in lookup i have taken care by giving alias names for all colums and used same in ports.i also maintained column count in override with port columns with same data types.i also maintained same data types for incoming ports with lookup ports.
lookup overide is
Select
CASE When INDIVIDUAL.Birth_Date IS Null Then CAST('01/01/9999' AS DATE FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYY') Else INDIVIDUAL.Birth_Date End AS Birth_Date,
CASE When INDIVIDUAL.Gender_Code IS Null Then 'NULL' Else UPPER(INDIVIDUAL.Gender_Code) End AS Gender_Code,
CASE When INDIVIDUAL.Individual_Name_Prefix_Code IS NULL Then 'NULL' Else UPPER(INDIVIDUAL.Individual_Name_Prefix_Code) End AS Individual_Name_Prefix_Code,
CASE When INDIVIDUAL.Individual_First_Name IS Null Then 'NULL' Else UPPER(INDIVIDUAL.Individual_First_Name) End AS Individual_First_Name,
CASE When INDIVIDUAL.Individual_Middle_Name IS Null Then 'NULL' Else UPPER(INDIVIDUAL.Individual_Middle_Name) End AS Individual_Middle_Name,
CASE When INDIVIDUAL.Individual_Last_Name IS Null Then 'NULL' Else UPPER(INDIVIDUAL.Individual_Last_Name) End AS Individual_Last_Name,
CASE When INDIVIDUAL.Individual_Name_Suffix_Code IS Null Then 'NULL' Else UPPER(INDIVIDUAL.Individual_Name_Suffix_Code) End AS Individual_Name_Suffix_Code,
CASE When PARTY.Duns_Num IS Null Then -1 Else PARTY.Duns_Num End AS Duns_Num,
CASE When PARTY.Legal_Entity_Code IS Null Then 'NULL' Else UPPER(PARTY.Legal_Entity_Code) End AS Legal_Entity_Code,
CASE When PARTY.Party_Type IS Null Then 'NULL' Else UPPER(PARTY.Party_Type) End AS Party_Type,
CASE When PARTY.SBI_Client_ID IS Null Then -1 Else PARTY.SBI_Client_ID End AS SBI_Client_ID,
CASE When PARTY.Tax_ID IS Null Then 'NULL' Else UPPER(PARTY.Tax_ID) End AS Tax_ID,
CASE When PARTY.Tax_Identifier_Type IS Null Then 'NULL' Else UPPER(PARTY.Tax_Identifier_Type) End AS Tax_Identifier_Type
