html Deployment Steps for a New Mapping in Informatica For a new mapping to create in Informatica: 1) Create a custom folder related to type of load (Custom_SDE/Custom_SILOS/Custom_PLP). 2) Import the sources and targets required. 3) Create a mapping/session/workflow. Exporting/Importing existing mapping from one environment to another 1) Connect to the Informatica Repository of the source environment (from where you want to export). 2) Choose the workflow, for the mapping which you want to import. 3) Right click and select Export objects, will export the mapping related objects (sources, targets, mapplets, mapping, session and workflow) to an xml file. 4) Connect to the Informatica Designer of the target environment (to where you want to import) to import the mapping related objects in the Designer. 5) Open the custom folder where you want the mappings to be imported. 6) Click on the custom folder, in the menu bar click on Repository -> Import objects. 7) It opens a new window; browse the xml you want to import and click on Next. 8) Select the objects to import and click on Next. 9) Resolve the conflicts if any and click on Next. 10) Click on Import. 11) Click on Done. Verify whether the corresponding objects are imported correctly and also verify the connection parameters. 12) Click on Save and check in the objects. 13) Connect to the Informatica Workflow manager of the target environment (to where you want to import) to import the session related objects in the Workflow. 14) Repeat the steps 5-12. Configuring mappings through DAC For newly added mapping in Informatica 1) Connect to DAC client. 2) Click on Design Tab -> On the right pane click on Tasks -> Click on New 3) Create a new task for the mapping by giving all the required details like name, command for incremental, command for full load (these 3 fields should match with the names of the session for that mapping in Informatica), folder name(Custom folder name), primary source, primary target, task phase, execution type and click on Save. See the example below. 4) Right click on the task created and click on Synchronize tasks to add the related tables to the task. 5) Select the task in the top pane and click on Source tables and target tables to check whether tables are added.

6) Add the above task to the existing subject area by clicking on Subject Areas tab and select the subject area -> Tasks ->Add/Remove -> Query for the required task -> Select and click on Add -> Ok. 7) Assemble the subject area by selecting the Subject area and click on Assemble button on top. 8) Click on the Execute tab -> Execution Plans -> Select the execution plan. 9) Check the parameters under the Parameters tab. If the parameter for the new mapping doesnt exist, click on Generate and add the values. Click on Save. 10) Click on Build on the right top. 11) Check the ordered tasks after the completion of build for the new mappings which you have added. 12) Select your execution plan and Click on Run now to run the load.

Issues Faced so far:

Known Issues 1) Severity Timestamp Node Thread Message Code Message ERROR 12/2/2011 3:20:49 AM node01_boseavbidb3.sapient.com LKPDP_4:READER_1_1 RR_4036 Error connecting to database [ Database driver error... Function Name: Logon ORA-12520: TNS: listener could not find available handler for requested type of server Database driver error... Function Name: Connect Database Error: Failed to connect to database using user [biapps] and connection string [BIDEV3].].

Resolution Restart the load by clicking on restart button under the Current Run tab of DAC.

2) Drop and create indexes

Few cases it might through errors while loading data into the fact table. In this case drop indexes manually at the backend. Run the load through DAC. Recreate the indexes at the backend.
