Most Common UNIX Commands Part - III

Continuing the unix commands left at part II, lets get to know some more unix commands

Paste- This command is used to merge lines of file of a single file or multiple files.for example if we give
paste dummy.txt. It will display contents of file similar to cat command.

$ paste dummy.txt
aaa
bbb 
ccc

$paste -s dummy.txt
aaa bbb ccc 

-s joins all lines of file since no delimiter is specified, default delimiter tab is being used

$paste -d, -s dummt.txt
aaa,bbb,ccc

-d is it the delimiter option

$ paste file1 file2 

In here it merges both the files parallellely merged

nslookup - This command is used to find the ip address if you know the domain name and vice versa

$nslookup abc.com

Name: abc.com

Address: 209.132.183.181

$nslookup 209.132.183.181

Name: abc.com

finger- This command is used to know the information of a user i.e name,home directory, last logged info etc.

Tr - command copies the standard input to the standard output with substitution or deletion of selected characters. I have mainly used for converting lower case to upper case vice versa

$ echo 'linux' | tr "a-z" "A-Z"

LINUX

Kill- This command is used to kill a particular or any zombie process. As we know that ps command list out all the processes along with their process id's respectively. we need process id's to kill them

kill pid

Hope this article helps you in understanding unix basic commands

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 ...

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',...

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...
