Parameterization of Schema Names in Informatica

+6 votes
412 views

I have this query say

Select A, B from Language.Alphabet

Where Language is my Schema Name, this query is used in Informatica Source Qualifier. This query is in Dev at this point so as I go to QA and Prod, the schema name needs to be changed, so rather than going to the query all the time I would like to change the schema name from our scheduling tool DAC.

I tried to parametrize this in Informatica by creating a parameter file and placing it on Informatica server, I get the desired results from this but only if I execute the workflow from Workflow Monitor and not from DAC, but I want it to be done from DAC.

How to truncate a string in informatica based of size instead of length

How can i truncate a string in informatica based of size instead of length. My problem is i had to populate a VARCHAR2(4000) field but there are some special character in the data which have size of 2 byte.

So if there are 4000 character in a string and 10 are special character with 2 byte , then overall size becomes 4020 byte which is out of range of VARCHAR2. I had tried using VARCHAR2(4000 char) but even this is not working. I don't want to use CLOB.

What i am trying to achieve is that the string should have only 4000 BYTE of data. i.e in case of above example string should have only 3990 character and 4000 BYTE.

Informatica - replace characters in target

Im working in a project which we create hundreds of xml's in informatica everyday, and all the data which is in the xml should be filtered, like removing all kind of special characters like * +.. You get the idea.

Adding regular expressions for every port is too complicated and not possible due the large amount of mapping we have.

I've added a custom property to the session XMLAnyTypeToString=Yes; and now i get some of the characters instead of &abcd, in their usual presentation (" + , ..).

I'm hoping for some custom property or change in XML target to remove these characters completely. any idea?
