1.Declare a workflow variable (e.g. $$LAST_SESSION).

2.Use the Post-session variable assignment component (on success or on failure or both) to store a name of executed session
enter image description here

3.Use the $$LAST_SESSION value in the reusable alert task.

Built-in variable ($PMSessionName) holds the name of the session.

Create a Workflow Variable and through Post-Session Variable Assignment Component assign $PMSessionName value to Workflow Variable for further use.

Script runs in Unix but not in Informatica command task

My script ran successfully in Unix but not in a command task of an Informatica workflow. The permissions are fine, and the parameter file and variables have been declared in the workflow. Why is this happening?

Informatica post session command task

I'm trying to get my Informatica workflow to fail a session if it selected 0 source records. I have come up with the following script to run as the Post-Session Success Command:

if [ $PM{Source Qualifier Name}@numAppliedRows == 0 ]
then
exit 2
else
exit 0
fi

where {Source Qualifier Name} is the name of my source qualifier. When I look at the session log it looks as I would expect where the $PM{Source Qualifier Name}@numAppliedRows is replaced by the number of rows my source qualifier selected but it is still causing the session to fail even when this number is != 0. The session log gives me the following error message:

sh: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 1 : 'if' is not matched.

Any help would be appreciated.

Email Task in Informatica

Is there a way of sending a text version of your changes to a mapping on an email task? I have mapping that would make approximately 10 changes to a table. As this mapping finishes, I want to use the email task to send the recipient a list of changes that were made.

Is that possible? (If not, is the next best solution outputting these changes to a .txt or flat file, and sending that to the recipient?) Either way, can someone provide detailed instructions on how to accomplish this task? I just want to know the changes made in an email form.

Thank you
