Most Common UNIX Commands Part

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

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',

Target Load Type - Normal or Bulk in Session Properties

We can see the Target load type ( Normal or Bulk) property in session under Mapping tab and we will go for Bulk to improve the performance of session to load large amount of data. SQL loader utility will be used for Bulk load and it will not create any database logs(redolog and undolog), it directly writes to data file.Transaction can not be rolled back as we don't have database logs.However,Bulk loading is very as compared to Normal loading. In target if you are using Primary Key or Primary Index or any constraints you can't use Bulk mode. We can see this property in the below snap shot.
