Date conversion in informatica

0 votes
560 views

I am loading date fields from file to teradata table. In a file my date format is mm-dd-yyyy and in my teradata table the format is yyyy/mm/dd.

I used the below function for formatting:

To_date(to_char(date field,'mm-dd-yyyy'),'yyyy/mm/dd')
But all my records are going in rejected records. When I checked session log my date field was mentioned as invalid date.

Please help on this.

In one of the requirment informatica fetching data from flat file as source file and insert records into a temporary table temp of DB2 database. Flat file has one column as datetime datatype (YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS). However, informatica fetching this column as string datatype (Since Informatica date format is different from this column & DB2). So before loading into temp table of DB2 database, I need to convert back this column into Datetime format.

With Expresion transformation, I can do this but I dont know how? To_date conversion function (TO_DATE(FIELD, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS')) is there but it will take care of date only (YYYY/MM/DD). Its not taking care of time (HH:MM:SS) and because of this records are not inserting into temp table.

How can I convert datetime from String datatype to DB2 datetime format (YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS)?
