Informatica Power center Workflow Manager

Workflow Manager

The Workflow Manager consists of three tools to help you develop a workflow:

• Task Developer. Create tasks you want to accomplish in the workflow in the Task Developer.

• Workflow Designer. Create a workflow by connecting tasks with links in the Workflow Designer. You can also create tasks in the Workflow Designer as you develop the workflow.

• Worklet Designer. Create a worklet in the Worklet Designer. A worklet is an object that groups a set of tasks. A worklet is similar to a workflow, but without scheduling information. You can nest multiple worklets inside a workflow.

Before you create a workflow, you must configure the following connection information:

• PowerCenter Server connection. Register the PowerCenter Server with the repository before you can start it or create a session to run against it.

• Database connections. Create connections to source and target systems.

• Other connections. If you want to use external loaders or FTP, you configure these connections in the Workflow Manager.
