    Source Analyzer - To create or Import Sources.
    Target Designer - To Create or Import Targets.
    Transformation Developer - To Create Re-usable transformations.
    Mapplet Designer - To create Mapplets
  4. Mapplet  is a set of transformations(excluding source and target) which are re-usable across mappings.
    Mapping Designer - To create Mappings.
    Mapping is a set of transformations(including source and target) which will transform the data as per business requirements.
  5. PowerCenter Workflow Manager: To create, schedule, and run workflows,tasks.In the Workflow Manager, we define a set of instructions called a workflow to execute mappings we build in the designer.
    PowerCenter Workflow Manager internally will have the following components.
    Task Developer - To Create Re-Usable Tasks.
    Worklet Designer - To create worklets.
    Worklet is a  set of Re-usable tasks.
    Workflow Designer - To create workflows.
    Workflow is a set of instructions that describes how and when to run tasks related to extracting, transforming, and loading data.
    Tasks are different types of jobs available like Session, Command Task, Email etc..

  6. PowerCenter Workflow Monitor: To monitor workflows and tasks.You can view details about a workflow or task in either Gantt Chart view or Task view.You can run, stop, abort, and resume workflows from the Workflow Monitor.

Comparing Objects in Informatica

By
We might face a scenario where there may be difference between PRODUCTION v/s SIT version of code or any environment or between different folders in same environment. In here we go for comparison of objects we can compare between mappings,sessions,workflows In Designer it would be present under "Mappings" tab we can find "Compare" option. In workflow manger under "Tasks & Workfows" tab we can find "Compare" option for tasks and workflows comparison respectively. However the easiest and probably the best practice would be by doing using Repository Manager.In Repository Manager under "Edit" tab we can find "Compare" option. The advantage of using Repository manager it compares all the objects at one go i.e. workflow,session and mapping. Hence reducing the effort of individually checking the mapping and session separately. Once we select the folder and corresponding workflow we Can click compare for checking out ...

Labelling and creating queries in informatica

By
Informatica components i.e. mappings,session,workflows,transformation are moved from one environment to another environment say from development to SIT can be done in various ways such as --Export the xml's and again import the xml's in the respective environment --Drag and Drop objects from one repository to another repository For the above process to be done you should have required access across environments. One other way is labelling the components and then creating queries in repository manager. Using these queries components are moved across environment's We need to go to the repository manager and select the version tab and select label Then click new label and give a name say "Wf Migration" and click OK. There we  have permissions tab where we can give access to other users to use the same label. Now we need to select the workflow which needs to be promoted to higher environment.  Right click on workflow and select "view dependencies...
