A. What is a WI' and what is the reason to generate a %W WI'?

,. WI' means warehouse I'.%W!WI' is generated for maintaining uniBue in table.

file!group!acct!names.cs+ @ this file specifies the group account names and

their corresponding group account codes.

. What is the difference between test run and dry run?

A. Dryrun

(ossible +alues are True and False.

Indicates whether tass are e>ecuted without in+oing Informatica worflows. The

following processes are e>ecuted7 change capture6 truncation of tables6 drop and

creation of inde>es6 and analye statements.

This option should be used for debugging purposes only and not used in a production

en+ironment.

Test Run

(ossible +alues are True and False.

When set to True6 the e>ecution plan will not stop on errors.

1G. 4ow a parameter file can be created and what it consists of?

A. 'uring an ETL e>ecution6 ',5 reads and e+aluates allparameters associated with that

ETL run6 including static and runtime parameters defined in ',56 parameters held in flatfiles6 and parameters defined e>ternally to ',5. ',5 consolidates all the parameters forthe ETL run6 deduplicates any redundant parameters6 and then creates an indi+idualparameter file for each Informatica session. This file contains the e+aluated name@+aluepairs for all parameters6 both static and runtime6 for each worflow that ',5 e>ecutes.The parameter file contains a section for each session under a worflow. ',5determines the sessions under a worflow during runtime by using the Informaticapmrep function List%bHect'ependencies.

The naming con+ention for the parameter file is

;Informatica foldername

1C. What is the difference between an acti+e and passi+e transformation. )i+e me an

e>ample.

,. ,n acti+e transformation can change the number of rows that pass through it6 but a

passi+e transformation can not change the number of rows that pass through it.

1D. When we use a K%IE transformation?

,. )enerally Koiner transformation is used to Hoin the heterogeneous tables.

1. What is the difference between static and dynamic loo up transformations.

A. Dynamic Cache:

The informatica ser+er builds a cache of the source when the worflow runs for the first time anditupdates the cache records dynamically after each row it loads to the target. /eans6 if a targetrow gets updated6 the dynamic cache also gets updated automatically after that particular rowcommitted in the target

Static Cache5an be configured as connected as well as unconnected looup. upports looup on flat file.

5an ha+e any relational operator in looup condition.

*G. What are the different types of target load types and e>plain the use of them.,. ormal !oa" :The database log is not bypassed and therefore the target database can reco+er from anincomplete session. B#!$ !oa" :

"ul loading6 impro+es the performance of a session that inserts a large amount of data to thetarget database. When bul loading6 the Integration er+ice bypasses the database log6 whichspeeds performance. Without writing to the database log6 howe+er6 the target database cannotperform rollbac. ,s a result6 you may not be able to perform reco+ery.

21. What is the difference between incremental and full wor flows and how we can define them

in a "I ,pps proHectM ?

,. In most %"I, proHects we create both incremental and full load mappings for each tables in'W4 target. "elow you can find the difference b9w both.

Full Load is the entire data dump load taing place the +ery first time. In this we gi+e the last

e>tract date as empty so that all the data gets loaded

Incremental @ Where delta or difference between target and source data is dumped at regularinter+als. 4ere we gi+e the last e>tract date such that only records after this date are loaded.

ote7Full load7 $$Last!E>tract!'ate N either lea+e it blan or gi+e some old date so that all therecords are loadedIncremental load7$$Last!E>tract!'ate N The date from which you need the data to get latestrecordM.

**. E>plain :pdate strategy transformation

,. Active and Connected Transformation

Till now, we have only inserted rows in our target tables. What if we want to update, delete or rejectrows coming from source based on some condition?

In ower Center, we set the update strategy at two different levels!
