What is Shortcuts, Sessions, Batches, mapplets, mappings, Worklet & workflow?



Scenario: What is Shortcuts, Sessions, Batches, mapplets, mappings, Worklet & workflow?


Solution:

  Shortcuts?

We can create shortcuts to objects in shared folders. Shortcuts provide the easiest way to reuse objects. We use a shortcut as if it were the actual object, and when we make a change to the original object, all shortcuts inherit the change.

Shortcuts to folders in the same repository are known as local shortcuts. Shortcuts to the global repository are called global shortcuts.

We use the Designer to create shortcuts.

  Sessions and Batches
Sessions and batches store information about how and when the Informatica Server moves data through mappings. You create a session for each mapping you want to run. You can group several sessions together in a batch. Use the Server Manager to create sessions and batches.

   Mapplets

You can design a mapplet to contain sets of transformation logic to be reused in multiple mappings within a folder, a repository, or a domain. Rather than recreate the same set of transformations each time, you can create a mapplet containing the transformations, then add instances of the mapplet to individual mappings. Use the Mapplet Designer tool in the Designer to create mapplets.

 Mappings

A mapping specifies how to move and transform data from sources to targets. Mappings include source and target definitions and transformations. Transformations describe how the Informatica Server transforms data. Mappings can also include shortcuts, reusable transformations, and mapplets. Use the Mapping Designer tool in the Designer to create mappings.

  session

A session is a set of instructions to move data from sources to targets.

workflow

A workflow is a set of instructions that tells the Informatica server how to execute the tasks.

  Worklet

Worklet is an object that represents a set of tasks.…
