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 ...

Types of Joins in Oracle/Teradata

By Anonymous
In Data warehousing, irrespective of schema (snow flake schema or star schema) we are using, we should join dimension and fact tables to analyze the business. Below are the frequently used joins: Inner join Left outer Join Right outer Join Cross join Inner Join: Inner join will give you the matching rows from both the tables. If the join condition is not matching then zero records will return. We should use ON keyword to give join condition. Example: Table1: ID Name 1 Krishna 2 Anirudh 4 Ashok Table2: ID Location 1 Bangalore 3 Chennai 4 Chennai We can join above two tables using inner join based on key column ID. SELECT T1.ID, T1.Name, T2.Location FROM Table1 T1 INNER JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.ID = T2.ID     If we are using inner join, it will give us matching rows from both the table. Here in this example, we have 2 matching rows i.e. ID 1 and 4. Below will be the result set for the above exa...

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.
