Email Task in Informatica

+1 vote
360 views

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

Create a mapping to load the results of this query into a flat file or an Excel spreadsheet. Then email the target file as an attachment.

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.
