I'm trying to load within an Oracle XE 10g database. When I run an Informatica PowerCenter Workflow, I get a following error: CMN_1022 Database driver error... CMN_1022 [Database driver event... Error occurred loading library [pmora8.dll]. System error encountered is 193. Error text is %1 is not a valid Win32 application. .] Any ideas what might be causing this error? My environment is as follows: Windows Server 2008 R2 Informatica PowerCenter 9.5 Oracle XE 10 G Powercenter repository is on SQL Server 2012. Well, there are a few variables that need to be set before your informatica runtime

I have table with a column called State. My requirement is to read data from the table and write it into multiple files based on State name. I'm using Informatica PowerCenter as ETL tool Create a mapping as below: Source --> SQ (sort data state name)--> Expression --> Transaction Control --> Target Expression: Create a variable port to store previous value of state and a output port flag. flag = IIF(state = var_state,0,1) var_state = state In Transaction Control Transformation, use TC_COMMIT_BEFORE when Flag = 1 Add Filename port to Target and map state name as filename. You can also do this

Most of my company uses powercenter informatica for Extract-Transform-Load type data move jobs between databases. However project I am on has a big custom Perl job with some Java thrown in for good measure to move data and trigger some other updates. There is talk of rewriting the thing to use powercenter instead, what are people's experiences on such a project, does it make sense? Seems like you trade lot of flexibility in going to such a "off the shelf" solution, but do the ETL tools buy you much in terms of productivity for example? Informatica is good for an operations team. It allows a

Could anyone help me with writing case statements in Informatica PowerCenter Designer? I am fairly new to Informatica, and based on my limited experience I feel case statements aren't supported. There is a decode function with similar functionality, but I am unable to find any good examples on the syntax. I would really appreciate if anyone could give me some specific examples on how to use case statements/decode function in Informatica. Thanks much for your help! You're right - there is no CASE statement, but you can use DECODE to simulate it: DECODE( TRUE , DECIMAL_PORT > 0, 'positive value'

I have developed an Informatica PowerDesigner 9.1 ETL Job which uses lookup and an update transform to detect if the target table has the the incoming rows from the source or not. I have set for the Update transform a condition IIF(ISNULL(target_table_surrogate_id), DD_INSERT, DD_REJECT) Now, when the incoming row is already in the target table, the row is rejected. Informatica writes these rejected rows into a .bad file. How to prevent this? Is there a way to determine that the rejected rows are not written into a .bad file? Or should I use e.g. a router insted of an update transform to

SQL SERVER 2014 SSIS has been released,we have already got lot of facilities in SQL SERVER 2012 SSIS.Can anybody compare SSIS 2014/SSIS2012 with Informatica Power center ? What are the additional fetures are there in the Informatica new version than SSIS 2012/2014? Or are there functions in SSIS 2014/20122 ,which are not available in Informatica. I still can not understand why clients are investing in very expensive tools like Informatica,If we have reliable and effective tool like ssis. Experts Please have a discussion on this This would take some time to name all the differences. These
