Loblaw Inc. through Teredata, Mississauga, ON September 2012 till date Informatica/ETL Developer The Loblaw SAP program will be using a mixture of Legacy, ABAP and Back Office Associates tools for executing the data conversion objects. The objects will be reviewed by the respective teams for complexity, volume, etc. and each object will have the most appropriate team assigned to execute the extraction, the transformation and the load. The functional requirements for data load are captured in functional design documents by the project functional teams. There is one functional design for each data object identified in the planning and analysis phase. The functional designs identify the data conversion requirements for the extraction and collection of data, data cleansing that needs to occur in legacy, the transformation or mapping of each data field to the SAP format, and the load requirements. Validation test scenarios should also be provided in the functional design. Responsibilities: Identifying and extracting data from varied sources, applying business rules and loading them to target data marts using Informatica 9.0.1 ETL solution environment. Active participation in weekly calls with data modeling and analysts teams to understand and work on any new requirement. Development of mapplets and shortcuts as per ETL standard practices requirements. Delivering ETL codes for completed solution artifacts as per SLA. Implementing business solutions as per requirement specification. Unit testing and documenting ETL mapping developed for a particular interface.
