Steps Involved in building an ETL process…

1. Create Source Definition

2. Create Target Definition
3. Design Mapping with or without Transformation Rule
4. Create Session for each Mapping
5. Create Workflow
6. Execute Workflow

Prerequisites:
1. Creation of User Accounts

Username: scott Username: batch7

Passwor: tiger Password: target

EMP Emp

DEPT

BONUS

Source DB Target DB

Process
1. Create User in Oracle (It can be any database)
a) StartProgramOracleApplication DevelopmentSQL*PLUS
b) Login with
Username: system
Password: manager
Host String: ORCL
SQL> CREATE USER BATCH7 IDENTIFIED BY target;
SQL> GRANT DBA TO BATCH7;
SQL> CONNECT BATCH7/target@ORCL;
SQL> CREATE TABLE DIM_EMP
( EMPNO NUMBER(5) PRIMARY KEY,
ENAME VARCHAR2 (10),
SAL NUMBER(7,2),
DNO NUMBER(3) );
2. Create the ODBC connection
An ODBC is a middleware or an interface which provides an access to the databases..
StartSettingControl PanelPerformance & MaintenanceAdministrative
tools Data Source (ODBC)
For Stand alone PC set “USER DSN”
For PC on Network:-
Select SYSTEM DSN tabClickAdd
-- Now the Create New Data Source Window will appear…
Select the driver Oracle in oradb10g_home (For 9i Oracle in OraHome90)
ClickFinish
-- Now the Oracle ODBC driver Configuration window will appear…
Data Source Name: Batch7_Source_Oracle
TNS Service Name: ORCL
USER ID: scott
ClickTest connection  give password (tiger)
A message will appear “CONNECTION SUCCESSFUL” It means now your user
Scott is connected through ODBC. Otherwise check the configuration setting again
and do it properly.
** One more ODBC connection required for target similarly create an ODBC
connection name with BATCH7_TARGET_ORACLE by repeating the same process
explained above but here the username will be BATCH7 which you have created with
password target.

3. Starting Services
For Starting Services you can use MSCONFIG command on RUN prompt a window
will appear in that choose services. Or you can find Services in
control panelAdministrative tool.
Start these two services:
 1. Informatica orchestration server
2. Informatica services 8.6.0
4. Creation of Folder
Process
1. StartProgramInformatica PowerCenter 8.6.0PowerCenter Repository
Manager.
2. From Repository Navigator pane Select Repository (nipuna_rep)Right
Clickconnect (you can also go through the Repository menu)
3. Enter the Login Details such as username, password (Administrator,
Administrator)connect
4. Folder menuCreate

2. Mapping MenuCreate
3. Enter the Mapping NameOK
4. From repository navigator pane drag the source (EMP) and Target (Dim_Emp)
table definition; drop on mapping designer work space.
5. From Source_Qualifier (SQ_EMP) connect column to the corresponding columns
in the target table definition by just dragging. (You can also use auto connect)
6. Repository menuSave

Note: Every source table definition by default associates with source qualifier
transformation.
The source qualifier transformation prepares an SQL statement which is used for
extraction by integration service.
Step 4: Creation of Session
Process
1. Open the client workflow manager
2. ConnectRepository
3. SelectFolder(your folder from Repository pane)Tool menuTask Developer

loading of actual data. Earlier connection ODBC which you made is only for extracting
the structure of the table.)
Connection menuRelational
FromlistOracleNewEnter the Details
Name-BATCH7PM_SRC
Username- scott
Password-tiger
Connect String-ORCL
** Similarly create target connection following the above stated process.
8. Double ClickSession(S_simplepass)Mapping tab
9. From left paneSQ_EMPSet Connection with the value which you have
created for the “Extraction” connection name
10. Repeat the processDim_employeeSet Connection

-Ename -Deptno (Key) -Sal (I) -Dname
-Sal -Sumsal (O) -Sumsal
-Deptno -sum(Sal)

Business Logic: Calculate the total Salary Paid for each department
Ans: Sorter transformation is used for better performance of Aggregator transformation,
and grouping the data department wise, aggregator transformation aggregate the salary
(Sum) department wise. There is Dname port is in the target table but Dname is not in the
Emp table so, we used the Lookup Transformation to get the Dname from Department
table. (Emp.deptno=Dept.deptno)

Router Transformation State HR

Input
Sales Sales_SQ State=HR
State=DL State DL
State=KA
Default State KA

Default
Business Logic: Divide the Emp table records Department wise.
Ans: For this we will use Router Transformation because this takes one input and
provides multiple outputs. Connect the target table through the every distinct department
groups of output port in the Router transformation.
Procedure
 1. Create Source and Target Definition
2. Create mapping with name M_Router
3. Drag and drop the source and target definition on to the mapping designer work

Union Transformation
Note: All the sources should have the same structure.

Emp SQ_Emp Output

Emp_Union
Group 1

Employees Employees_SQ Group 2

Business Logic: Merge two table Emp and Employees table into one table Emp_Union
Ans: For this we will use Union Transformation It takes multiple inputs and provides one
output. But the various sources should have the same structure. Connect the target table
through single output port of the Union transformation.

Procedure
1. Import metadata of Emp and Employees from source database using Source
Analyzer.
 2. Create Target table Emp_Union
3. Create a mapping with the name M_Union

10. Copy the ports from output group to target (Emp_Union)
11. Repeat the Process of creating Session and workflow and Run the workflow.

Stored Procedure Transformation

Create the following stored procedure in the database.
Create procedure Annual_tax
(Sal In Number,
Tax Out Number)
IS
Begin
Tax := Sal*0.15;
End;
Business Logic: Calculate the Annual Salary of the employee for the new column tax in
the target table.

additional settings otherwise do the additional settings as follows:
6. Double Click Stored procedure Properties TabSet the “Connection
InformationAs per your Relational connection name for source.
7. While Configuring the mapping in the session for connection set the connection
for transformation alsoAs per your Relational Connection name for source.

Source Qualifier Transformation

In this transformation we generally do the changing in the SQL code of the Source
Qualifier.
Business Logic: Load the data of employees in the target those belongs to only
department number 20 and 30 and records should be sorted by their salary in ascending
order.
Ans: Earlier we did this by the filter transformation but now we will do this by source
qualifier transformation. It will certainly increase the efficiency of the Integration
Service.
Procedure
1. Create Source and Target Definition
2. Create Mapping with a name M_Source_filter
3. Drop the source and target definition on the mapping designer window.
4. From SQ_Emp connect the required port to the Target table just like simple pass.
5. Double click SQ_EmpProperties tabSet the value for “Number of sorted
ports=1” Set the value for “sql query” as “SELECT EMP.EMPNO,
EMP.ENAME, EMP.SAL, EMP.DEPTNO
FROM EMP
WHERE DEPTNO IN (20, 30)
ORDER BY EMP.SALclick Generate SQLClick ApplyOk
 ** Here you can also set properties for you query such as Distinct by check the
checkbox of Distinct.
** By default the order by clause will be imposed on empno because you had set value
for number of sorted port =1 the integration service take it sequentially from empno if
you would choose value 2 then it will take to port empno and ename so you must do
changes in the SQL query according to your requirements.
Note: If you will set the value for sql query without connecting to target port you will get
error message, so connect to the target port from SQ_Emp first.

6. Repeat the process for creating session and workflow and Run the workflow.

User Define Join in Source Qualifier Transformation

User defined joins possible in the source qualifier only when the two sources are belongs
to same database user account or schema.
Business Logic: Join two tables Emp and Dept to get the Department name and Location
from Dept table for each employee in the Emp table.
Ans: Instead of using joiner transformation we will use User Defined Join option in
source Qualifier because both table are in the same schema of scott. It will certainly
increase the performance measure also.
Procedure
1. Create the source and target definition
2. Create a mapping with the name M_Source_join
3. Drag and Drop the source and Target definition on to the mapping designer
workspace.
4. From source qualifier connects the port to the target definition.
