Some Tricks in Informatica

By
After a bit of gap, i am back here.So instead discussing about a specific topic, let me tell you about some tricks/tips that can be used while working in informatica

Worklet as we know is a set of reusable tasks.We cannot start a single task individually in worklet from workflow manager. we need to run the worklet in order the start the individual tasks assigned to it.Although after a run in completed from workflow monitor we can start tasks individually from monitor.

If a worklfow which has schedule assigned to it gets failed, then it gets unscheduled so we need to reschedule it again by doing right click in workflow manger and select schedule workflow.

If the following error appears while trying logging in informatica

 
Then try restarting services by doing the following steps go to run and type services.msc, there search
for informatica sever then right click select restart.
 
Joiner vs lookup - It is advisable to choose joiner transformation when there are large no of records in the source table as the performance will be better when compared to lookup.
 
Hope this article helps you in your informatica projects

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 ...

Finding Duplicate records and Deleting Duplicate records in TERADATA

By Anonymous
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

By
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...
