ERROR: "The mapping contains blocking transformations which may cause the mapping to hang while executing." when validating a PowerCenter mapping with multiple Joiner transformations | ||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||
INFA_Problem_Description
When validating a PowerCenter
mapping with multiple joiners, the mapping is invalidated and the following
message appears:
The mapping contains blocking transformations [Joiner_Name] which may cause the mapping to hang while executing.What is the main Joiner Validation Rule? | ||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||
INFA_Cause
This message indicates that one or more Joiner transformations may be
blocked based on the master/detail relationship set up in the
mapping.
| ||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||
INFA_Solution
The basic rule for this validation is that the active reader
should not be blocked.
ExampleIn this example the validation for the first Joiner takes the master thread as a first reader (S2), so S2 is the active reader, and this reader will read data first. When it attempts to start reading the data (as it is the master thread for J1), J2 is requesting to block (as it is a Detail thread in J2) which will cause the session to hang. ExampleIf the master and detail reader is switched for the second Joiner (J2) as in the following example:The first reader (S2 - evaluated based on the first Joiner master) will not be blocked because both threads which are linked to that particular reader are expecting data (requesting to read data). Once that reader (S2) is finished reading the data, it will start the second reader (S1). For the second reader, even though we have detail and master threads connecting to S1, both threads are expecting data, so this reading source will not be blocked. |

Expression Editor Issue After Using Dual Monitors
SQL Editor
When attempting to edit the SQL Override in the Source Qualifier (or Lookup) the window for the SQL editor is cropped and does not display the entire window.
Cause
This behavior is seen when using the Designer client tool on a machine running in dual display mode with the Extend the desktop to this monitor option enabled.
Solution
To resolve this do the following:
Close Designer and run regedit .
Go to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Informatica\PowerMa rt Client Tools\
Where PowerCenter_Client_Version is the PowerCenter client version (8.1, 8.1.1, 8.5, 8.5.1, 8.6, etc).
Change the values of the following to "0":
Expression Editor Position
Expression Editor Splitter Position
SQL Editor Position
SQL Editor Splitter Position
More Information
To avoid editor display problems when using dual display mode, do the following:
Open the Designer and move it to the larger monitor.
Open the Expression transformation.
Do not drag the Edit Transformations window to another position, leave it in the default position.
Open and work in the Expression editor.
If the Edit Transformations window is moved to another position, then the expression editor display will not display properly.
Notes:
This problem is not resolved when the machine is set back to single display mode.
The only sure way to avoid this issue is to use one monitor, the client tools are guaranteed to work properly with this configuration.

SQL Server : When you restore a database backup to another server, you may experience a problem with orphaned users.
Troubleshooting Orphaned Users When you restore a database backup to another server, you may experience a problem with orphaned users. The following scenario illustrates the problem and shows how to resolve it. A. Showing a report of the current user to login mappings
The following example produces a report of the users in the current database and their security identifiers (SIDs).
Copy
EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Report';
B. Mapping a database user to a new SQL Server login
In the following example, a database user is associated with a new SQL Server login. Database user MB-Sales, which at first is mapped to another login, is remapped
USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Update_One', 'MB-Sales', 'MaryB';
GO
Use Northwind
go
sp_change_users_login 'update_one', (restore users id)'test',(current database user id) 'test'
sp_change_users_login :
@Action
@UserNamePattern
@LoginName
@Password

Your session has expired due to inactivity. You will be redirected to the login page where you can enter your username and password" on Internet Explorer while logging into Administration Console
This issue occurs due to underscores in the hostname.
Solution
To resolve this issue, do any of the following:
•Use the physical IP address.
•Use a different browser, like Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, or Safari.
•Make DNS entry changes on the server side.
Row error occured while fetching data from database.
Cause: This occurs when Informatica Integration Service is fetching an array.
Solution : Steps
1. In Administration Console , click on Integration Service
2. Expand Custom Properties
3. Add a property called OptimizeODBCRead with value No
4. Bounce Integration Service
5. With this flag the Integration Service uses the single row fetch instead of doing array fetch.

Informatica PowerCenter Migration Checklist 7/28/2003
__ 2. Have the mappings/workflows been documented? Including:
- descriptions and text within the PowerCenter mappings and workflows;
- restart instructions; and
- special handling instructions.
__ 3. Have the mappings/workflows been sufficiently tested? Have they run in Test with no errors at least twice, preferably longer?
__ 4. Have DDL scripts moved to production? Are there additional objects/DDL to move to production for source or lookup tables?
__ 5. Optional, but critical: Have the business users reviewed the test data and approved the results?
__ 6. Has a folder comparison been done between the source and target repositories? Have all folder differences been explained as being necessary?
__ 7. Have reasonable error checks been coded for in the error handling routines?
__ 8. Has the default session configuration been used/altered for this folder? If there have been changes, list the changes.
__ 9. Has the fail parent option been checked?
__ 10. Have all test settings such as “collect performance data” been disabled?
__ 11. Are there sequence generators that need the current values adjusted? What should the current value be?
__ 12. Have any reusable objects been used? Have they been documented?
__ 13. Have post-session emails been set up and are the proper email addresses used?
(Indicate whether a failure is critical or not.)
__ 14. Have relational connections been reviewed and are they correct?
__ 15. Have mapping and session parameters and variables been reviewed, values set?
__ 16. Has a code review been completed? Check for compliance with standards? Check performance efficiency?
__ 17. Have the session failure variables been reviewed?

SQL Server Date Formats
SQL Server Date Formats
One of the most frequently asked questions in SQL Server forums is how to format a
datetime value or column into a specific date format. Here's a summary of
the different date formats that come standard in SQL Server as part of the CONVERT
function. Following the standard date formats are some extended date
formats that are often asked by SQL Server developers.
It is worth to note that the output of these date formats are of VARCHAR data
types already and not of DATETIME data type. With this in mind,
any date comparisons performed after the datetime value has been formatted are
using the VARCHAR value of the date and time and not its original DATETIME
value.

EBCDIC file handling
Sourcing the EBCDIC file from mainframes to Informatica can be a harder job! Verifying and managing the Packed decimals and the zoned decimals are as easy as the normal flat file handling. You should be in a position to know various flat file options to have it done!
In informatica to read an EBCDIC file VSAM source file strucure is used. Where we can prepare EBCDIC file from the flat file by the tool called 'Ultraedit'. To prepare from ASCII, first need to convert to EBCDIC format. Then to remove null spaces convert it to hex mode and serch and remove for "0D 25" with null. After that again return it to EBCDIC mode and this file with .TRX extension you can use for testing purpose.

Using a well known file enditor VEDIT ,the EBCDIC file can directly be edited without translating it and then can be transferred back to a mainframe computer. For transfering to a PC or a UNIX system particularly to a database such as SQL or MS Access, using VEDIT, the EBCDIC file can be translated to ASCII before transfer. The EBCDIC files that do not contain packed-decimal fields are particularly easy to translate to ASCII using the VEDIT.
