Importing and Exporting Objects in Informatica

 

Importing and Exporting Objects

Exporting repository objects

The repository objects such as mapping, session, workflows, etc. can be taken back up into a .xml file format.

Procedure

From repository, navigator window expands the mapping subfolder select the mapping, from repository menu click on export objects select the path to save an XML file. Click on save

Importing repository objects

Create a new folder, open the client designer activate the folder [right click, click on open]

From repository, menu click import object

Click on browser select and XML file select the XML file click ok

Click on next click import, click finish

Difference between normal load and Bulk load

Normal Loading

The session which is configured for normal load allows you to pass the data into the target viva "database Log"  (redolog)

Since the records are entered into the database log,  the integration service can perform a rollback on transaction errors.

As a result, the integration service can perform session recovery.

Since the records are passing to the target viva database log the integration service "increases the data loading time".

Bulk Loading

The session which is configured for bulk loading loads the high volumes of data into the target and increases session performances. When you configure the session with the bulk loading the integration service bypass the database log and enters the records into the target.

Since the integration service bypass the database log, it can't perform a rollback on transaction error.

As a result, the integration service can't perform the session recovery.

The integration service does not support bulk loading into index target table.

It loads record degrades

• Load records increase because the record loaded target directly. 

Design a mapping which performs bulk wading into the target

Note

Don't create a primary key in the target database but however, you can primary in the target designer.

Procedure

Source definition tmp

target definition with the name tmp-BULK [from target menu select generate and execute primary and foreign key]

Create a mapping with the name m-Bulk-Load

Drop the source and target defination

From SQL connect the ports to target

Create the session with the name, double click the session

Select the mapping tab set the reader and writer connection with target Load type "BULK".

Click Apply, click ok

Repository menu click on save
