Most Common UNIX Commands Part - III

By
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.

 finger dvader

 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

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 ...

Target Load Type - Normal or Bulk in Session Properties

By
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.

SCD Type 2 Implementation in Informatica using dynamic lookup

By
We have already covered how a dynamic look up works the same can be found out from the following link http://dwbuddy.blogspot.com/2014/06/dynamic-look-up-in-informatica.html  So let's see how we can use it in a regular SCD type 2 mapping. The logic used in SCD type 2 is same as discussed in earlier blog i.e.  http://dwbuddy.blogspot.com/2015/01/scd-type-ii-implementation-in.html . The only difference being here is we have used dynamic look up instead of a static one. We go for dynamic look up when there are duplicate entries for a PK value and only the latest record present in the file should be termed as active. Let us consider the following sample data So  for EMP_ID 101 we have two records in the same day flow so the latest record i.e. with salary as 1500 should be termed as Active record. The mapping will look in the following way So in here we have a dynamic lookup couple of expression transformations,a transaction control transformation which is use...
