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 ...

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',...

Updating Target Table in Informatica

By Anonymous
Generally, in every project we will see at least one requirement to update target based on some conditions. Case1: When we have primary key defined on table in Database Case2:   When we do not have primary key defined on table in Database Case3: When we want to update target based on non-primary key field. Let’s discuss it in detail. Case1: When we have primary key defined on table in Database After creating table in DB, import table as target along with primary key constraints. After done with importing, we can check the primary key details by editing target in target definition. In this case, we can use update strategy to update target table. Suppose, we have a table called RETURN_CD and primary key ROW_WID defined on that table. Now, we can update target table using update strategy based on primary key. In mapping, we should connect primary key port and the ports which we want to update in target table. Please check the below screenshot. And ...
