Informatica: it is an ETL tool.

ETL means Extract Transform and loading

Informatica Power center has maily four screens


1. repository
2. designer
3. workflow manager
4. workflow monitor

1. repository

the repository stores information required to extract, transform, and load data.
It also stores administrative information such as permissions and privileges for
users and groups that have access to the repository.

edit
copy - we can copy paste
paste- we can paste
delete - we can delete the object
comparing - used to compare two objects

2. designer

mainly we use designer screen for mapping

1.sources
we can import source from database or flatfile
2. target
we can import target from database or flatfile
3. transformation developer
we can create reusuable transformations
4. mapplet desiner
we create resuable mappings
5. mapping designer
we can create mappings here

i know about few transformation , i will explain

Transformation types
1. connected : it will connected to other transformation
2. unconnected : it will not connected to other transformation
3. active transformation : number of rows from source to target will be different
4. passive trasformation : number of rows from source to target is same.

1. Expression transformation

it is a passive and connected transformation


(?After opening mapping) - In properties if the tracing level is Normal - we can
view logs

2. router transformation
it is an active and connected transformation

3. filter transformation
it is an active and connected transformation

there is one different router transformation and filter tranformation


router has multiple condions
filter has one condition

4. aggregate transformation
it is active and connected transformation

in aggregate transformation we use aggregate functions like max min sum avg count

example:
if want to count number of students in each department, i will give goup by to
department

cache - it will store temporiry data in that directory

sorted input- enble if i want in order wise data

5. Rank Transformation

it is connected and active transformation

6. joiner transformation
active and connected

maily we use this transformation to get data from two sources

in joiner transfoemation we have


master port - M enble
detailed port - M disable

join Type

normal Join : it is same like inner join we get only matching records from master
ports and detail ports
Master Outer join : we get matching records from the master ports and matched and
unmatched from detail port
Detailed Outer join : we get matching records from the detailed ports and matched
and unmatched from master port
Full Outer join : we get matched and unmatched from two master and detailed ports

7. sequence generator transformation

passive and connected

maily it is used to get sequece values like 1234

nextval
current

currentvalue : it will record current sequence number


cycle: if cycle is enable, it will start from the start value.

8. lookup transformation

they are multiple types

1. relational lookup : if we import lookup table from database


2. flatfile lookup : if we import le from files
3. connected lookup : it connected to other transformation --
4. unconnected lookup : it will not connected to other transformation

we can apply lookup source target and relational and flat file

student

source student
s_id s_name d_id

target student_data

s_id s_name d_id d_name

lookup table
department :

d_id d_name

I want fill data d_name based department id.


I will compare source d_id and lookup d_id
if both id's matched it goes to target.

active : change in number of rows

note that mapping name

m_A51_LOAD_RR3_RESERVAS_IMPORT
ACCESS
10% CHANCES THAT SHE WILL STAY BACK ITSMS

update stratagy
active and connected

we use update trategy transformation while insert new records


update records
delete recods

workflow manager

session and worflows

connected : multiple ports


unconneted : only one port
