What type of Debugger sessions can be configured in Informatica?
You can choose from the following Debugger session types when you configure the Debugger:
- Use an existing non-reusable session. The Debugger uses existing source, target, and session configuration properties.
- Use an existing reusable session.
- Create a debug session instance.
What is the use of Debugger in Informatica?
Informatica designer provides the feature to use the debugger to debug mappings. It means we can debug and analyze any existing mapping. The requirement for the debugger is that the mapping should be a valid mapping. In the exercise, we will debug our existing mapping “m_emp_emp_target” which we created earlier.
When the Debugger is in paused state which window can be used to view the transformation data?
When the Debugger pauses, you can view transformation data and row information in the Instance window. Target window. View target data for each target in the mapping.
What are different tracing levels in Informatica?
Informatica tracing levels can be configured at the transformation session levels and has 4 different types of tracing levels. Terse – Log initialization information, error messages and notification of rejected data in the session log file.
What is mapping debugger in ETL?
Debugger is an integral part of Informatica PowerCenter mapping designer, which help you in troubleshooting the ETL logical error or data error conditions in an Informatica mapping. The debugger user interface shows the step by step execution path of a mapping and how the source data is transformed in the mapping.
How do I stop a debugger session in Informatica?
To abort a Debugger session, you will have to find its Process Id and kill it. The Process Id information will be stored in PowerCenter Server log file.
What is a mapping debugger?
How can you validate all mappings in the repository simultaneously?
Validating all mapping in repository
- In repository go to menu “tool” then “queries”. Query Browser dialog box will appear.
- In Query Editor, choose folder name and object type as I have shown in the picture.
- After that, execute it (by clicking the blue arrow button).
- Query results window will appear.
How many types of tracing are?
Tracing is divided into two forms, common law tracing and equitable tracing.
What is difference between stop and abort in Informatica?
When you say “Stop” – Informatica Server waits for completing the Server Processes that are going to finish before going to stop the workflow. When you say “Abort” – Informatica Server going to stop the workflow immediately irrespective of the Server Processes are going to finish or not.
How do I stop a Debugger session in Informatica?
What are Mapplets in Informatica?
An Informatica Mapplet is a reusable object that comprises a set of transformations that can be used in multiple maps. You can use a Mapple in a mapping or can validate it as a rule. As far as transformations in a Mapplet are concerned, they can be either reusable or non-reusable.

Can we update target without primary key?
Your only way to update without primary key is to write an Target override in Target.By doing this, you dont need primary key for updation.
Can we update the target without update strategy in Informatica?
A target table can be updated without using ‘Update Strategy’. For this, we need to define the key in the target table in Informatica level and then we need to connect the key and the field we want to update in the mapping Target.
What are the two kinds of tracing?
Micro-Tracing: As I have always said skip-tracing starts at the point of sale or the day that the assignment is received.
What are the steps in tracing method?

- Trace Using a Light Box or Pad.
- Trace Using a Flashlight App on an iPad or Tablet.
- Trace Using a Wet Marker Transfer.
- Carbon Paper or Equivalent.
What is the difference between router and filter transformation?
– Router transformation provides mutually inclusive groups to have the same records, whereas Filter transformation used to restrict the incoming record. – Router transformation doesn’t block the incoming record, whereas Filter transformation blocks or restricts the incoming record on the condition given.
What is the difference between and $$ in Informatica?
Actually $ means internal Parameter/Variable (such as $DBConnection prefix or $PMSessionLogDir) whereas $$ are used for user-defined parameters or variables (which could be defined at mapping or workflow/worklet level).
