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"





and select all children ,all parents options. Upon which  a window will open with all the components depended on that workflow.

Select all the components and then right click and select  label option and click apply label and select our label "Wf Migration". This is if we want all the components to be migrated, suppose if we made a change only in a particular transformation say in a filter transformation, then select only filter transformation and do the above process.Now labelling is completed.

PS: Note down the count of  no. of components labelled under the label

Queries are used to identify the labelled components we need go tool options in repository manager and then click queries




Give query a name in here we have options under query conditions such as folder name,label,check in time,business name etc. we need to select label option and in there we need to select our label and then save it.

We have execute option i.e.a blue right arrow upon executing the query it will return all the components under the specified label. The count of the no of components under the query result should be equal to label count which we noted down earlier.

These queries are used to migrate the components using migration tools. Each query can have multiple labels.

Hope this article helps you in understanding the labelling & queries concept

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 ...

Types of Joins in Oracle/Teradata

By Anonymous
In Data warehousing, irrespective of schema (snow flake schema or star schema) we are using, we should join dimension and fact tables to analyze the business. Below are the frequently used joins: Inner join Left outer Join Right outer Join Cross join Inner Join: Inner join will give you the matching rows from both the tables. If the join condition is not matching then zero records will return. We should use ON keyword to give join condition. Example: Table1: ID Name 1 Krishna 2 Anirudh 4 Ashok Table2: ID Location 1 Bangalore 3 Chennai 4 Chennai We can join above two tables using inner join based on key column ID. SELECT T1.ID, T1.Name, T2.Location FROM Table1 T1 INNER JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.ID = T2.ID     If we are using inner join, it will give us matching rows from both the table. Here in this example, we have 2 matching rows i.e. ID 1 and 4. Below will be the result set for the above exa...

Looping using Expression Transformation in Informatica

By
One of the most common used transformation in Informatica is Expression transformation. In Expression transformation we can perform various operations such as data conversions i.e to_date,to_char, string manipulation such as substr,instr etc. Now coming to one of the widely and prominent task which we perform using Expression transformation is looping a value. Expression transformation has three types of ports i.e. input,variable and output.Only output port values can be propagated to next transformations. So in order to pass values of input and variable ports to next level of transformation these must be assigned to output ports.The order of execution in Expression transformation is top to bottom and first input then variable and finally output ports are processed. let us consider the following scenario   The files should be generated with employee name as file name and that particular file should have the details of that respective employee only, if the employee has more t...
