Use the following Metadata Exchange (MX) Views:
REP_TARG_TBLS provides a list of targets in the repository
REP_TARG_TBL_COLS provides the properties of columns defined for the target tables in a data warehouse or data mart
It contains a column COLUMN_KEYTYPE that takes of the following values: 

Primary Key, Not a Key, Foreign Key, Primary and Foreign Key.

Informatica: how to get the auto-generated primary key of a table in Informatica mapping?

My question is very similar to the one below, but on a informatica environment:

Retrieving the index of an inserted row

Here is a brief summary of the issue: I'm trying to figure out how I can insert a row into a table and then find out what the value of the auto_incremented id column was set to so that I can insert additional data into another table. Our target is SQL server 2008. We have a table which has to be populated by informatica ETLs and the application is also using the same table - so, we can't use informatica sequence generator.

In the past when I have used Oracle database, there was a Oracle sequence generator transformation available in Informatica - but for SQL server, I am not sure.

Any solutions please?

Informatica: Converting a table into multiple target tables based on one column.

In my source table data is 

s_name,p_name,value
s1 ,   p1,     10
s1 ,   p2,     xyz
s1 ,   p3 ,    abc
s2 ,   p1 ,    20
s2 ,   p2 ,    xyz
s2 ,   p3 ,    abc

I want two target tables, first table is based on s_name s1, second table based on s_name s2. Both table contains contains p_name and value.

The target table data like as

Table s1

p_name,value 
p1,    10
p2,    xyz
p3,    abc

Table s2 

p_name,value 
p1,    20
p2,    xyz
p3,    abc
