By

PowerCenter Client Tools:

  1. PowerCenter Admin Console: The repository is administered using the Repository Manager client tool, the PowerCenter Administration Console, and command line programs.
  2. PowerCenter Repository Manager: To create Users,Groups,Folders and assign privileges.
  3. PowerCenter Designer: To create/import sources,targets and to create mappings,mapplets,re-usable transformations.
    PowerCenter Designer internally will have the following components.
    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 ...

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...
