There is a wealth of information to be found in the Informatica PowerCenter tables, which are accessed through views provided by Informatica.

At IU, all of these views are found in the INFORMATICA schema in DSS1PRD, DSS1TST, and DSS1DEV. Explanation of some fields:

SUBJECT_AREA - this is equivalent to the folder name.

Object queries:

Mapping names Source names Target names Lookup transformations: Tables used Lookup transformations: SQL Override text Source Qualifiers: SQL Query text from Session: SQL Query text from the source settings Workflow task and session names

Execution queries:

Session runs Workflow runs Runs of BRTE scripts which load data from workflows

For any of the queries which have 'search_string', replace it with the text for which you are looking. We also have included some of the Valid Values for some columns.
List mappings used in any workflow

(For more information, see the Informatica KB Document ID# 104897.) The following query will returns all mappings used in any workflow with associated folders, workflows, and sessions listed:
SELECT c.subject_area folder_name, a.task_name workflow_name, b.instance_name session_name, c.mapping_name FROM informatica.REP_ALL_TASKS a, informatica.REP_TASK_INST b, informatica.REP_LOAD_SESSIONS c WHERE a.subject_id=c.subject_id AND a.task_type=71 AND a.task_id=b.workflow_id AND b.task_type=68 AND b.task_id=c.session_id AND c.MAPPING_ID <> 0

ORDER BY 1,2,3,4

Other information:

The REP_LOAD_SESSIONS view contains both mapping and session object information. In both REP_ALL_TASKS and REP_TASK_INST, task_type for the workflow object is 71 and that for session is 68.

Source names

select s.SUBJECT_AREA as FOLDER_NAME, s.SOURCE_NAME, s.PARENT_SOURCE_DATABASE_TYPE, s.SOURCE_DATABASE_NAME from informatica.REP_ALL_SOURCES s where s.SOURCE_NAME like '%search_string%' order by 1,2
Target names

select t.SUBJECT_AREA as FOLDER_NAME, t.TARGET_NAME, t.PARENT_TARGET_DATABASE_TYPE from informatica.REP_ALL_TARGETS t where t.TARGET_NAME like '%search_string%' order by 1,2
Tables used in Lookup transformations

SELECT ram.PARENT_SUBJECT_AREA as FOLDER_NAME, ram.MAPPING_NAME, rwi.INSTANCE_NAME as TRANSFORMATION, rwa.ATTR_VALUE as LOOKUP_TABLE_NAME FROM informatica.REP_WIDGET_INST rwi, informatica.REP_ALL_MAPPINGS ram, informatica.REP_WIDGET_ATTR rwa WHERE rwi.MAPPING_ID = ram.MAPPING_ID AND rwi.WIDGET_ID = rwa.WIDGET_ID AND (rwa.ATTR_DESCRIPTION LIKE 'Lookup source table') order by 1, 2, 3, 4
Generate a list of SQL Overrides from Lookups

(For more information, see the Informatica KB Document ID# 23165.) This SQL will give you information about text entered in SQL Overrides within mapping lookups for a particular folder:
SELECT ram.PARENT_SUBJECT_AREA, ram.mapping_name, rwa.attr_name, rwa.attr_value FROM informatica.rep_widget_attr rwa, informatica.rep_all_mappings ram, (SELECT subject_id FROM informatica.rep_subject WHERE subject_area = 'foldername' ) x WHERE rwa.attr_name like '%Sql Override' AND ram.MAPPING_ID = rwa.mapping_id AND ram.subject_id = x.subject_id

Replace 'foldername' with the particular folder you want to search. Rather than search a particular folder, you could change the WHERE clause to exclude those folders you don't want to search:
WHERE subject_area != 'PS8_FA'

Or leave the 'WHERE subject_area ...' clause out completely to query all folders. If you want to look for a particular string within the SQL Override text, add a line to the very end of the query:
and rwa.ATTR_VALUE like '%search_string%'

Replace 'search_string' with the text you are looking for within the SQL Override.
SQL Query text from Source Qualifiers

select m.SUBJECT_AREA, m.MAPPING_NAME, a.LINE_NO, a.ATTR_NAME, a.ATTR_VALUE from informatica.REP_WIDGET_ATTR a, informatica.REP_WIDGET_INST i, informatica.REP_ALL_MAPPINGS m where a.WIDGET_ID = i.WIDGET_ID and i.MAPPING_ID = m.MAPPING_ID and a.WIDGET_TYPE = '3' and a.ATTR_ID = '1' order by m.SUBJECT_AREA, m.MAPPING_NAME, a.LINE_NO
SQL Query text from the source settings in a Session

(Note from Tina: when I was developing this query, I found it takes quite a while to run (like 6-7 minutes). I don't have time right now to figure out how to speed it up.)
select c.SUBJECT_AREA as FOLDER_NAME, a.TASK_NAME as WORKFLOW_NAME, b.INSTANCE_NAME as SESSION_NAME, w.PARTITION_ID, w.LINE_NO, w.ATTR_VALUE from informatica.OPB_SWIDGET_ATTR w, informatica.REP_ALL_TASKS a, informatica.REP_TASK_INST b, informatica.REP_LOAD_SESSIONS c where w.SESSION_ID = c.SESSION_ID and w.SESSION_ID = b.TASK_ID AND a.task_id=b.workflow_id and w.ATTR_ID = 1 AND a.task_type=71 and w.ATTR_VALUE like '%search_string%' order by c.SUBJECT_AREA, a.TASK_NAME, b.INSTANCE_NAME, w.PARTITION_ID, w.LINE_NO
Workflow task and session names

SELECT w.SUBJECT_AREA as FOLDER_NAME, w.WORKFLOW_NAME, c.TASK_TYPE, c.TASK_TYPE_NAME, c.INSTANCE_NAME AS TASK_NAME FROM informatica.REP_TASK_INST c, informatica.REP_WORKFLOWS w

WHERE c.WORKFLOW_ID = w.WORKFLOW_ID and c.TASK_TYPE != 62 --Excludes 'Start' task types and c.INSTANCE_NAME like '%search_string%' order by 1,2,4,5

Replace 'search_string' with the text you are looking for within the Workflow task and session names. Or remove that whole line from the query to get all task and session names.

Execution Queries For the following three queries, change the first WHERE clause line to change the time period you are looking for.
Number of sessions run in a given period of time

select count(*) from informatica.rep_task_inst_run r where r.START_TIME between to_date('09/21/2010 00:00:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') and to_date('09/22/2010 00:00:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') and TASK_TYPE = 68 and RUN_STATUS_CODE = 1
Number of workflows run in a given period of time

select count(*) from informatica.REP_WFLOW_RUN where START_TIME between to_date('09/21/2010 00:00:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') and to_date('09/22/2010 00:00:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') and RUN_STATUS_CODE = 1
List of command tasks which might run BRTE scripts which load data

select SUBJECT_AREA, WORKFLOW_NAME, TASK_NAME from informatica.rep_task_inst_run r where r.START_TIME between to_date('09/21/2010 00:00:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') and to_date('09/22/2010 00:00:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') and TASK_TYPE = 58 and RUN_STATUS_CODE = 1 and (TASK_NAME like '%brte%' or TASK_NAME like 'cmd_run%' or TASK_NAME like 'cmd_dss%' or TASK_NAME like 'cmd_build%') and TASK_NAME not like 'cmd_monitor%' and TASK_NAME not like 'cmd_touch%' and TASK_NAME not like '%done' and TASK_NAME not like '%donefile' and TASK_NAME not like '%indexes%' order by 3

The list is based on the names of the commands tasks. Since naming standards for command tasks aren't used consistently, it is possible this list isn't perfect. To get a more

accurate list, you might need to query the commands run in the command tasks and figure out which ones use scripts in dssprdb/batch or something like that.

Identifying Informatica PowerCenter sessions for tuning

1. The IUIE report "Informatica Sessions > 20 Min" (DSS_LOADS_OVER_20) will show you all sessions which took longer than 20 minutes today, how many rows it loaded, as well as the average/minimum/maximum run times and rows loaded. It is a good first step at identifying a process which may be holding up a particular DSS schedule. Rows highlighted in orange indicate a significant increase over the average. 2. The IUIE report "Informatica Daily Report (DSS_WF_RPT) can also give you information about a particular table load. Once you run the report for today's date, find the specific folder, workflow, then mapping you are interested in. On that line youll find the table name linked to another report which will list the runs for the past 90 days. The DSS_WF_RPT report output is pretty long, so using the table of contents can help you navigate more quickly to the correct folder. 3. The following is some SQL you can run against DSS1PRD. It will show you what the run times where for a particular table as far back as the information goes. If you want to look it up by session_name instead of table_name, use the line commented out instead.
4. select 5. t.SUBJECT_AREA as SUBJECT, t.WORKFLOW_NAME, t.SESSION_NAME, t.TABLE_NAME, 6. to_char(f.START_TIME,'YYYY-MM-DD') as RUN_DATE, f.MINUTES_SESS, f.SUCCESSFUL_AFFECTED_ROWS, f.THROUGHPUT 7. from dss.dss_inf_log_ft f, 8. dss.dss_tbl_sess_wf_dm t 9. where f.tbl_sess_wf_key=t.tbl_sess_wf_key 10. --and t.SESSION_NAME = '<session_name>' 11. and TABLE_NAME = '<table_name>' 12. order by f.START_TIME

13. Likewise, the following 3 tables will allow you to build a query to compare load time long term in test and production dss environments.
14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. from dss.dss_inf_log_ft f, dss.dss_tbl_sess_wf_dm t, dss.dss_date_dm d

where f.date_key = d.date_key and f.tbl_sess_wf_key=t.tbl_sess_wf_key

Results go back to November 2004.

Oracle AWR reports These reports will show how a database is doing. It includes top resource consuming SQL and other stats that might be useful in looking into improving performance in your database application.

Using partitioning to speed up an Informatica job

At what step in the process should you rebuild indexes on a table? Typical full rebuild of a table with indexes: 1. 2. 3. 4. Drop indexes Truncate table Load data into table Rebuild indexes

If you fully rebuild a table and then do additional updates to the table: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Drop indexes Truncate table Load data into table Rebuild indexes Perform updates

The updates generally will occur a lot faster with the indexes on the table than without.
