'Update as Insert' and 'Update Else Insert'

Here the naming convention clearly gives the details about the row type conversion(Insert/Update) of records which will load into target. We can see the options in session properties under Mapping tab.
'Update as Insert' - Integration Service treats the records which are coming as update row type also as Inserts.
'Update Else Insert' - Integration service updates the record if exists in target, else Insert into target.

And in simpler form we can say:

Insert --> Flags the rows as inserts

Update as Update --> Flags the rows as update

Update as Insert --> Flags Updates as Inserts

Update else insert --> Checks for the row in target ,Inserts if there is no record and update if the record exists.

Always we will select the Insert property and we can Select only one out of three update properties.If you check one property then other properties will be unchecked automatically.

Comparing Objects in Informatica

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

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...

Finding Duplicate records and Deleting Duplicate records in TERADATA

Requirement: Finding duplicates and removing duplicate records by retaining original record in TERADATA Suppose I am working in an office and My boss told me to enter the details of a person who entered in to office. I have below table structure. Create Table DUP_EXAMPLE ( PERSON_NAME VARCHAR2(50), PERSON_AGE INTEGER, ADDRS VARCHAR2(150), PURPOSE VARCHAR2(250), ENTERED_DATE DATE ) If a person enters more than once then I have to insert his details more than once. First time, I inserted below records. INSERT INTO DUP_EXAMPLE VALUES('Krishna reddy','25','BANGALORE','GENERAL',TO_DATE('01-JAN-2014','DD-MON-YYYY')) INSERT INTO DUP_EXAMPLE VALUES('Anirudh Allika','25','HYDERABAD','GENERAL',TO_DATE('01-JAN-2014','DD-MON-YYYY')) INSERT INTO DUP_EXAMPLE VALUES('Ashok Vunnam','25','CHENNAI','INTERVIEW',TO_DATE('01-JAN-2014',...
