Scenario to capture informatica workflow status

1: You are developing a module or data mart, and you are in pre- production phase where data is being validated by clients. you have around 400+ daily loads which happens through 300+ workflows to push the data. One consolidated report being a lead can help you diagnose the overall situation before reporting back to client about successful load. 2: You have developed code which loads around 1000+ same structured files. you are in system integration testing where your code is being tested for robustness. with this you can see overall status before anything goes wrong badly.

3: One of your significant upstream system is being sunset, decision has been taken that new system will process data in parallel (to Current Production system) and apple to apple comparison will be done to plan cut-off of earlier upstream system. Here you can predict data deviation with this report well in advance and can start investigation.

Mahender, In the scenario 3, Please write more on how data deviation be predicted from the informatica workflow status. My understanding is the workflow status may report the current / previous status of the workflow runs but cannot give the deviation in data from legacy to new system. When data from both legacy and new systems to be compared, one may design a new session that compare the two systems data post load and generate a report for data deviation and some audit.

Hey Uma , See If you know that number of successful workflows in PROD and TEST environment are not same then you can easily predict that data will not be same till the jobs gets properly recovered. Apparently, this can help anticipating the data deviation in two systems by capturing failed Informatica Workflow status.
