Informatica issue - Parameter file

0 votes
262 views

My source is dat file. Intially in designer I can I import the file from my local. But later it gonna to come in shared location and Informatica need to pick it from there. I guess, for this I need to put parameter value 'Source file Directory' = '$PMSourceFileDir\' at session level in Workflow Manager. Now where is this Parameter file located? How can I get it to edit it so that I can put my parameter value also. Informatica is installed in my local but I am connecting to the repository of remote. Is there any other way so that Informatica can pick this dat file from a remote location. Please help.

PMSourceFileDir is usually set as part of the Informatica server initialization, since it is a server variable. If you want to override it for your workflow, you can do so in a parameter file.

In your workflow monitor, go to the workflow designer tab, open your workflow.

Go to Workflow > Edit > Properties > Parameter file Name.

I want to know how to get latest updated record via Informatica. Suppose I have 10 records in a temporary table. 3 records for Account1, 3 for Account2 and 4 records for Account3. Now out of these 3 accounts, I need fetch only those records which has maximum date value (Latest date) and insert in another temporary table. So which transformations I could use to get this or informatica logic I should use? Please help
