Why Do We Need Data Integration?

`
Why do we need Data integration?
 Every company these days have to process large sets of data from varied sources. This data needs to be processed
to give insightful information for making business decisions.
 This data maybe stored using various applications as per the ease of the user.

`
ETL Process
 Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) is the process of extracting the data from various sources, transforming this data
to meet your requirement and then loading into a target data warehouse.
 The ETL processes ensures that the data stored in the warehouse is:
➢ Relevant and useful to the business users.
➢ Accurate and high quality.
➢ Easy to access so that the warehouse is used efficiently and effectively by the business users.

Administrator Console

`
Informatica PowerCenter Administrator Console
 It is used to administer the Informatica domain and Informatica security.
 The Administrator console is mainly used to perform tasks on the domain like Managing application services,
Configuring nodes, Managing domain objects, Viewing and editing domain object properties, Security administrative
tasks and Viewing log events.

`
Informatica PowerCenter Administrator Console
The Administrator tool has the following tabs:
 Domain: View and edit the properties of the domain and objects within the domain.
 Logs: View log events for the domain and services within the domain.
 Monitoring: View the status of Profile jobs, Preview jobs, Mapping jobs, SQL data services, and Web services for
each Data Integration Service.
 Reports: Run a Web services report or License management report.
 Security: Manage users, groups, roles, and privileges.

`
Demo
➢ Use Case: As an organization, you are migrating your product details to a new database. While
migrating, the data needs to be checked and invalid data needs to be tracked.
Existing Product Data Expression Transformation Updated Product Database

`
Solution
•Create a work folder to
store all sources,
transformation, targets,
mappings and workflows
in a single location.
Repository
Manager
•Create the mapping by
loading the source
definition, adding data
transformation, creating
target definition and
connection all these
components.
Designer
•Create a workflow
using various task
components to
execute the created
mapping.
Workflow
Manager
•Monitor the
execution of the
workflow and check
the Source/Target
statistics.

Phase 2
Phase 3
Phase 4
 To solve the problem, we break down the solution into 4 Phases:

Phase 1
Repository Manager

`
 The Repository Manager is used to navigate through multiple folders and repositories, and perform basic repository
tasks like folder creation, folder access control, migrating objects from one folder or repository to another.
 The main tasks of the repository manager are adding domain and repository connection information, Working with
PowerCenter domain and repository connections and Implement repositories.

Phase 2
Designer

`
 The PowerCenter Designer is the client where we specify how to move the data between various sources and targets
 The Designer is used to create source definitions, target definitions, and transformations which can be further utilized
for developing mappings

`
The Designer provides the following tool workspace:
➢ Source Analyzer: Used to Import or create source
definitions for flat file, XML, COBOL, Application, and
relational sources.
➢ Target Designer: Used for Import or create target
definitions.
➢ Mapping Designer: Used for creating the mapping.
➢ Transformation Developer: You can create reusable
transformations.
➢ Mapplet Designer: Used to create mapplets.
Informatica PowerCenter Designer Tools
Source Analyzer – Used to Import or Create source
definition.
Target Designer – Used to Import or Create target
definition.
Mapping Designer – Used to create mapping to extract,
transform and load data.
Transformation Designer – Used to create or modify
reusable transforms.
Mapplet Designer – Used to create or modify reusable
transforms.

Phase 3
Workflow Manager

`
Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Manager
 The PowerCenter Workflow Manager is used to create and start Workflows.
 As mappings are not executable, we make use of sessions in workflow to execute the associated mapping.

Phase 4
Workflow Monitor

`
 The Workflow Monitor is the PowerCenter tool which is used to monitor the execution of workflows and tasks.
 Workflow Monitor can be used to:
➢ View details about a workflow or task run in Gantt chart view or task view
➢ Run, stop, abort, and resume workflows or tasks
➢ The Workflow Monitor displays workflows that have run at least once.

`
Output
 Below is the output of our operation where we have successfully set the INCONSISTENCY-FLAG as Y for those entries
with PRODUCT-ID as null.

`
 We have understood why we need Data Integration and how we can achieve data integration through ETL process.
 We have seen the uses of Informatica Administration Console.
 To solve every problems, the solution can be broken down to 4 phases.
 In the first phase, by using the Informatica PowerCenter Repository Manager we can create a work folder to store
all the sources, target definition, mapping , transformations and workflows created as objects.
 In the second phase, by using the Informatica PowerCenter Designer we can load source definitions, target
definitions, and transformations which can be further utilized for developing mappings.
 In the third phase, by using the Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Manager, we can create and execute
workflows.
 Finally, by using Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Monitor, we have checked the progress of the workflow and
verified the source-target statistics.
