Working With Multiple Data Sources and Aggregator Transformation

This tutorial shows the process of creating an Informatica PowerCenter mapping and workflow which pulls data from multiple data sources and summarize the data using Aggregator Transformation.

Understand Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Monitor

You can monitor workflows and tasks in the Workflow Monitor. With the Workflow Monitor, you can view details about a workflow or task in Gantt Chart view or Task view. The Workflow Monitor displays workflows that have run at least once. You can run, stop, abort, and resume workflows from the Workflow Monitor. The Workflow Monitor continuously receives information from the Integration Service and Repository Service. It also fetches information from the repository to display historic information.

Understand Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Manager

Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Designer

In the Workflow Manager, you define a set of instructions called a workflow to execute mappings you build in the Designer. Generally, a workflow contains a session and any other task you may want to perform when you run a workflow. Tasks can include a session, email notification, or scheduling information. You connect each task with links in the workflow. You can also create a worklet in the Workflow Manager. A worklet is an object that groups a set of tasks. A worklet is similar to a workflow, but without scheduling information. You can run a batch of worklets inside a workflow.

Understand Informatica PowerCenter Mapping Designer

A mapping is a set of source and target definitions linked by transformation objects that define the rules for data transformation. Mappings represent the data flow between sources and targets. When the Integration Service runs a session, it uses the instructions configured in the mapping to read, transform, and write data.

Understand Informatica PowerCenter Target Designer

We spoke about the Source Analyzer in one of our previous posts. After we create source definition using Source Analyzer, target schema should be created. This can be designed in the Target Designer tool in PowerCenter. The Target Designer provides a user interface for creating and customizing the logical target schema. Target definitions can be customized as needed and when the customization is complete, we can create the physical targets in the database from SQL scripts executed from the Target Designer.

Understand Informatica PowerCenter Source Analyzer

In one of our previous article, we got to know the different client components of Informatica PowerCenter. Source Analyzer - The first tool in PowerCenter Designer, is used to identify the sources that will be used to build the data mart or warehouse and create definitions for those sources. Source definitions describe the sources that are going to be providing data to the warehouse. There are different ways to create source definitions.

Informatica PowerCenter Client Tools Overview

The PowerCenter Client consists of applications that developers use to design mappings, mapplets, create sessions and workflows to load the data, and monitor workflow progress. In this article, lets discuss about the following applications and tools, which is used by developers during the development process.
