Course Overview
This four day, instructor-led course introduces students to Informatica PowerCenter
9.5 through lecture and hands-on exercises. The course is designed for Database
Developers who are new to Informatica PowerCenter.
Informatica PowerCenter is a collection of thick client workbench tools that
Developers can use to create, execute, monitor and schedule ETL processes.
The course will introduce attendees to working with the PowerCenter Designer,
Workflow Manager, and Workflow Monitor tools, performing tasks such as creating
transformations, mappings, reusable objects, sessions and workflows to extract,
transform and load data. They will develop cleansing, formatting, sorting and
aggregating procedures. They can learn how to use routers, update strategies,
mapping parameters /variables and overrides. This course will cover many different
types of lookups, such as cached, persistent, and multiple row returns. Workflow
tasks will be created to define a set of instructions for executing the ETL.

Objectives
After successfully completing this course, students should be able to:
Use Informatica Support to resolve questions and problems with PC9.5.
Use PowerCenter 9.5 Designer to build mappings that extract data from a source to
a target, transforming it as necessary.
Use PowerCenter transformations to cleanse, format, join, aggregate and route
data to the appropriate targets
Perform error handling/trapping using PowerCenter mappings
Use PowerCenter 9.5 Workflow Manager to build and run a workflow which executes
a sessions associated with a mapping
Design and build simple mappings and workflows based on essential business
needs.
Perform basic troubleshooting using PowerCenter logs and debugger.

Course Agenda
1. An Overview of Informatica PowerCenter

Overview of PowerCenter covering areas such as the


Architecture, Terminology, Tools GUI, Mappings,
Transformations, Sessions, Workflows and Workflow Monitor

2. ETL Fundamentals

Create flat file and relational Sources using the Source


Analyzer
Create flat file and relational Targets using the Target
Developer
Mappings using the Mapping Designer
Workflows using the Workflow Designer
Monitor the workflow using the Workflow Monitor
Preview Target Data using the PowerCenter Designer

3. Trouble Shooting

Understand PowerCenter Log files


Use PC log files to:
o View and look up error
messages
o Correct mapping and workflow
errors

4. PowerCenter Transformations, Tasks and


Reusability

Define list of PC Designer Transformations and Workflow Tasks


Clarify Active vs. Passive Transformations
Use the Expression Transformation and Editor in a mapping
which applies a file list to load multiple flat files into a stage
table utilizing expression and filter transformations to
format and screen erroneous customer data
Use Reusable Designer Transformations to apply same
formatting logic to Employee records

5. Features & Techniques

Outline use of Arrange All and Arrange All Iconic


Show Autolink feature
Show Select Link Path feature
Define Propagation of Port Properties

7. Using the Debugger

8. Sequence Generators, Lookups and


Caching

Define Joins
Clarify Heterogeneous vs. Homogeneous Joins
Use a Joiner Transformation to join relational and flat file
sources
Use the Source Qualify to join two relational sources
Make use of Link Conditions to execute one session when the
first finishes successfully.

Define the Sequence Generator


Define the Lookup Transformation
Understand the different types of Lookups
Clarify Lookup Caching
Use a Flat File Lookup to add data to a relational target.
Create a Multiple Row Return Lookup, use Aggregators and
Expressions to count the number of orders a Customer has as
well as total the sales for that customer. Add those values to a
target.
Build a Dates Lookup Cache for use in
determining start and end dates of target
records
Utilize Event Wait, Event Timer and Email
Tasks to wait for flat files and email users
upon successful/failed load.
Use a decision task to set criteria by which
the workflow will decide which execution
branch to follow

9. Update Strategies, Routers and Overrides

Build a mapping that uses Update


Strategies and Routers to determine
insert/update logic for a target.
Overrides will be used for incremental
(daily) loading of the target.

10. Sorter, Aggregator,


Unconnected Lookups,
Mapping Parameter/Variables
and Mapplets/Worklets

6. Joins and Link Conditions

Outline Debugger Interface


Show creation of a break point
Show Evaluate the Expression functionality
Re-Execute mapping with different values

Define Sorter Transformation


Detail Aggregator Transformation and Aggregate Functions
Explain Unconnected Lookups and how they are called.
Describe Mapping
Parameters/Variables and initialization

mapping which loads records from
warehouse Dimension tables to a Fact
table.
Parameter File Instruction.

11. Mapping Design Workshop

12. Workflow Design Workshop

Business requirement details will be provided so that the


student can design and build their own mapping necessary
to load a Promotions Aggregate table. The workshop will
provide Velocity Best Practices documents that can be used
to determine the correct logic for the mapping

Business requirement details will be provided so that the


student can design and build their own workflow necessary to
load all staging tables in a single workflow. The workshop will
provide Velocity Best Practices documents that can be used to
determine the correct logic for the workflow.
