Preface
Welcome to the “PowerCenter 9x Level One Developer” course.

This five-day, instructor led course introduces students to Informatica PowerCenter 9.x
through lecture and hands-on exercises. The course is designed for Database Developers
who are new to Informatica PowerCenter.
Informatica PowerCenter is a collection of thick client workbench tools that Developers

can use to create, execute, monitor and schedule ETL processes.
The course will introduce attendees to working with the PowerCenter Designer,
Workflow Manager, and Workflow Monitor tools, performing tasks such as creating
transformations, mappings, reusable objects, sessions and workflows to extract, transform
and load data. They will develop cleansing, formatting, sorting and aggregating
procedures. They can learn how to use routers, update strategies, parameters /variables
and overrides. This course will cover many different types of lookups, such as cached,
persistent, dynamic and multiple row returns. Workflow tasks will be created to define a
set of instructions for executing the ETL.
Prerequisites:
Prerequisites include basic familiarity with Windows GUI and at least two years’ work
experience and some knowledge of SQL.
Course Objectives:
After successfully completing this course, students should be able to:
 Use Informatica Support to resolve questions and problems with PC9.x.
 Use PowerCenter 9.x Designer to build mappings that extract data from a source
to a target, transforming it as necessary.
 Use PowerCenter transformations to cleanse, format, join, aggregate and route
data to the appropriate targets
 Perform error handling/trapping using PowerCenter mappings
 Use PowerCenter 9.x Workflow Manager to build and run a workflow which
executes a sessions associated with a mapping
 Design and build simple mappings and workflows based on essential business
needs.
 Perform basic troubleshooting using PowerCenter logs and debugger
Audience:
This course is designed for database developers with little or no experience of
PowerCenter.

Repository Repositories are not created and managed in the Designer

Management application. They are created in the Administration Console
application, and managed in the Repository Manager
application.
Folder Management Folders are created and managed in the Repository Manager
application.
Shortcut Folders Do not confuse repository folders with the directories visible
in Windows Explorer. The folders are PowerCenter repository
objects and are not related to Windows directories.
Technically, all folders are “shared” with all users who have
the appropriate folder permissions, regardless of the “blue
arm” icon. The “blue arm” icon indicates that the folder
permits shortcuts, dynamic links to the objects contained in
that folder used by mappings in other folders.

Note: Two sources from different systems may use the same name.
Placing each source in a folder based on its connection type
avoids confusion when this is the case.

what transformations take place within a row, provided only
that the rows going out are a one-for-one match with the
rows going in.

Datatype Conversion Datatypes can be converted by

• Passing data between ports with different datatypes
• Passing data from an expression to a port
• Using transformation functions
• Using arithmetic operators
The following type conversions are supported:
• Numeric datatypes  other numeric datatypes
• Numeric datatypes  string
• Date/Time  date or string

Note: In the labs for this course, we are simulating part of the
creation of a (very simple) Dimensional Data Warehouse. In
these labs, you will begin with data in OLTP tables and flat
files, bring data to Staging, and from Staging (STG) to the
Operational Data Store (ODS).
Because creation of Staging tables is fairly trivial, you will do
more work on moving data from STG to ODS. This will
provide more realistic uses of the capabilities of
PowerCenter.

Velocity Phases Velocity covers the entire data integration project lifecycle:
Phase 1: Manage
Phase 2: Architect
Phase 3: Design
Phase 4: Build
Phase 5: Deploy
Phase 6: Operate
For more information, see http://devnet.informatica.com
Note: We do not use the Velocity templates in this course
Note: In Velocity, the standard is to begin the names of all Source

Qualifier objects with “SQ_”, followed by the name of the
source. The Mapping Designer automatically names the
Source Qualifier this way when you drag a Source object
onto the Mapping canvas.

Records rejected by the source or target go into the .bad file(s).

Records that have a transformation error go into the session log.
Therefore if a row of data is both rejected and causes a transformation error, it may end up in both
locations.
When the Integration Service reads non-numeric data in a numeric column from a flat file, it drops
the row and writes a message in the session log. Also, when the Integration Service reads non-
datetime data in a datetime column from a flat file, it drops the row and writes a message in the
session log.
Such a target and/or source reject would put the record in the .bad file as well.

Note Variable ports cannot be output directly. To output the contents of

a variable port, create an output port whose value is the variable.
Creating A transformation variable is created by creating a port and

selecting the V check box. When V is checked, the I and O
checkboxes are unavailable (grayed out), indicating that a
variable port can not be used for input or output.

Description Event Wait tasks wait for either the presence of a named flat
file (a pre-defined event) or some other user-defined event
to occur in the workflow processing. Note that the Workflow
must be running in order to recognize a pre-defined event.
Business Purpose An Event Wait task watching for a flat file by name is placed
in a workflow because some subsequent processing is 8
dependent on the presence of the file.
An Event Wait task waiting for the occurrence of a user-
defined event will be strategically placed so that the
workflow should not proceed further until some other set of
tasks and conditions has occurred. It always works in
concert with an Event Raise task.

enable the Integration Service to run one or more OS
commands of any nature. All commands or batch files
referenced must be executable by the OS login that owns
the Integration Service process.
Business Purpose OS commands can be used for any operational or business

unit related procedure, and can be run at any point in a
workflow. Command tasks can be set to run one or more OS
commands or scripts/batch files, before proceeding to the
next task in the workflow. If more than one command is
coded into a Command Task, the entire task can be set to
fail if any one of the individual commands fails. Additionally
and optionally, each individual command can be set not to
run if a preceding command fails.

Examples of A Session task that produces an output file can be followed

Command Tasks by a Command task that copies the file to another directory,
or FTPs the file to another box location. The command
syntax is the same as that which would accomplish this at
the OS command prompt on the Integration Service
machine.
A Session task that relies on a flat file as source data can be 8

preceded by a Command task that verifies the presence of
the file, opens it and verifies control totals or record counts
with some external source of information.
A series of multiple concurrent or sequential Sessions can

be followed by a single Command task coded to copy or
move all session logs created by the workflow to a special
daily backup directory.

Description “Tags” a row with the appropriate DML (Data Manipulation

Language) for PowerCenter’s writer to apply to the relational
target. Each row can be “tagged” with one of the tags shown
on the following slide.
Business Purpose A target table may require historical information dealing with
existing entries. Rows written to a target table, based on one
or more criteria, may need to be inserted, updated, or
deleted. The Update Strategy transformation meets this 9
requirement.

Note: For the row tags DD_DELETE and DD_UPDATE, the table
definition in the mapping must have a key identified.
Otherwise, the session created from the mapping will fail.
If the “Forward Rejected Rows” attribute is checked
(default), then rows tagged with DD_REJECT will be passed
on to the next transformation or the Target, and
subsequently placed in the appropriate “bad file”. If the
attribute is unchecked, then the reject rows will be skipped.

multiple Targets, you must ensure that their filter conditions
are mutually exclusive.
In the example above, you would prefix the conditions for
the position-based tables with “DATE HIRED >= 90 DAYS
AGO AND”.
Note that multiple target objects can be instances of the
same target table. If this is the case, only one INSERT
statement will be generated per record.

Description Sorts incoming data based on one or more key values. Sort
order may be ascending, descending, or mixed.
Business Purpose Use before an Aggregator transformation to improve overall

performance. The Sorter transformation is often more
efficient than adding an ORDER BY clause to the Source
Qualifier.

Property Description
Case Sensitive Determines whether the Sorter differentiates between upper

Work Directory A directory where the Integration Service will create

temporary files when sorting data.
Distinct Treats output rows as distinct. If this is selected, all ports are
considered as part of the sort key.
Null Treated Low If selected, treat nulls as lower values than any other.
Transformation Transaction: Applies transformation logic to all rows in a

Scope transaction.
All Input: Applies the transformation logic on all incoming
data, regardless of incoming transaction boundaries.

Key Points • If there is not enough memory specified in the index and
data cache properties, overflow is written to disk
• No rows are returned until all rows are aggregated
• Checking the “sorted input” attribute bypasses caching, as
well as the sort operation that occurs implicitly in an
Aggregator

Description Unconnected Lookups allow the inclusion of additional

information in the transformation process from an external
source when they are referenced within any transformation
that supports expressions.
Business Purpose A source table may have a small percentage of records with
incomplete data. These “holes” in the data can be filled by
performing a lookup to another table or tables, on an as-
needed basis.

Key Points • Use the Lookup function (:lkp.lookupname) within a

conditional expression
• The condition is evaluated for each row but the Lookup
function is only called when the record requires it
• Data from several input ports may be passed to the
Lookup transformation, but only one port may be returned,
as designated by the R(eturn) property in the Lookup
transformation
• If no port is set as R the mapping will not be invalid, but
the session may fail at runtime

The port to be returned is designated by the Lookup transformation’s R (return)

port.
If a port is not selected as the R port, the mapping will not be invalidated but the
session will fail at runtime.

The user cannot control the content of the variable but can
reference the information contained within the variable.

Description A Mapping can utilize parameters and variables to store

information during execution. Each parameter and variable
is defined with a specific datatype. Parameters are different
from variables in that parameters are fixed for the run of the
Mapping, while variables can change (vary). Both can be
accessed from anywhere in the Mapping.
Business Purpose Mapping variables and parameters are used:

• To simplify Mappings by carrying information within or
between transformations
• To improve maintainability by allowing quick changes to
values in a Mapping

Scope Parameters and variables can be used only inside the object
in which they are created. A Mapping variable created for
Mapping_1 is available only within that Mapping and cannot
be used by another Mapping or Mapplet in the same
workflow. A parameter or variable’s scope is the object in
which it was created.
Aggregation Type The PowerCenter Server uses the aggregation type of a

mapping variable to determine the final current value of the
mapping variable. In a session with multiple partitions, the
PowerCenter Server combines the variable value from each
partition and saves the final value into the repository.
Aggregation types include Count (for integer datatype), Max,
and Min.
IsExpVar IsExpVar determines how the Integration Service expands

the parameter in an expression string. If true, the IS
expands the parameter after parsing the expression. Default
is false. If this is true and the parameter type is not String,
the IS fails the session.

Variable Persistence At the end of a successful session, the values of variables

are saved to the repository. The SetVariable function writes
the final value of a variable to the repository based on the
Aggregation Type selected when the variable was defined.
The final value written to the repository for a variable that
has an Aggregate type of MAX will be whichever is greater,
the current value or the initial value. Similarly, the final value
for a variable with an Aggregate type of MIN will be
whichever is smaller, the current value or the initial value.
Naming Convention User-defined variable and parameter names always begin

with $$ (i.e., $$ParamName or $$VariableName).

From WhatIs.com –
In data warehousing and business intelligence, a star schema is the simplest form
of a dimensional model, in which data is organized into facts and dimensions.
A fact is an event that is counted or measured, such as a sale or login.
A dimension contains reference information about the fact, such as date, product,
or customer.
A star schema is diagramed by surrounding each fact with its associated

dimensions. The resulting diagram resembles a star.

Description Mapplets combine multiple mapping objects for reusability; they

can also simplify complex mapping maintenance. A Mapplet
receives input data from either an internal Source or the
Mapping pipeline that calls the Mapping. A Mapplet must pass
data out to the Mapping via a Mapplet Output transformation.
Note Mapplets are reusable by nature – a Mapping uses an instance

of a Mapplet.
These instances inherit all changes to the parent Mapplet,
which may affect the behavior of the Mappings that use the
instances.

Example A business, as part of its daily sales, needs to apply discounts,

performing a number of lookups and aggregating the sales
values.
This functionality is used in several types of feeds, so the
Mapplet shown here was created to provide this functionality,
identically, in many Mappings.

Warning When the Mapplet is expanded at runtime, an unconnected

output group could result in a transformation having no output
connections. If that is not permitted, then the mapping will be
invalid.
For example:
• If the Mapplet outputs are fed by an Expression
transformation, the mapping is invalid because an
Expression requires a connected output.
• But if the Mapplet outputs are fed by a Router, the mapping
is valid because a Router can have unconnected output
groups.

Note: Mapplets cannot be nested – that is, you cannot use a Mapplet
inside another Mapplet.

Types Workflow variables come in two types: user-defined and pre-

defined
Business Purpose A workflow can contain multiple tasks and multiple pipelines.
One or more tasks or pipelines may be dependent on the
status of previous tasks. Workflow variables convey that
information from one task to another.

Description Can establish the value of a Workflow Variable, whose value

can be used at a later point in the workflow, as testing
criteria to determine if or when other workflow
tasks/pipelines should be run.
Business Purpose Running a workflow task may depend on the results of other
tasks or calculations in the workflow. An Assignment task
can do certain calculations to establish the value for a
workflow variable. This value may determine whether other
tasks or pipelines are run.

Description Decision tasks enable workflow designers to set criteria by

which the workflow will or will not proceed to the next set of
tasks, depending on whether the set criteria is true or false
Business Purpose Commonly, workflows have multiple paths. Some are simply
concurrent tasks. Others are pipelines of tasks that should
only run if the previous tasks are successful. Still others
should be run only if those tasks are not successful.
What determines the success or failure of a task or group of
tasks is user-defined, depending on the business-defined
rules and operational rules of processing.
The criteria are set as the decision condition in a Decision
task, and subsequently tested for a True or False condition

A basic Lookup transformation allows the inclusion of additional information in the

transformation process from an external database or flat file source. However,
when the lookup table is also the target, row data may go out of sync with the
target table image loaded in memory. The Dynamic Lookup transformation allows
for the synchronization of the target lookup table image in memory with its
physical table in a database.

An Employee flat file is being used as a source to load an Employee target system
at regular intervals.
The Employee load session is processed based on when an indicator file is
created as part of the nightly batch load. Sometimes the latest Employee file may
not be available for loading, perhaps due to source dependency.
If the source does not trigger that script that creates the indicator file in a specified
period of time, a notification should be sent and the wait for the file should be
stopped.
