About TransformationAbout Transformation

The transfer of data is called transformation.

A transformation is a repository object that generates, modifies, or passes data.

We configure logic in a transformation that the Integration Service uses to transform data.

The Designer provides a set of transformations that perform specific functions.

Transformations in a mapping represent the operations the Integration Service performs on the data.

Data passes into and out of transformations through ports that we link in a mapping or mapplet.

Transformations can be Active or Passive.

An active transformation can change the number of rows that pass through it.

A passive transformation does not change the number of rows that pass through it.

Transformations can be connected to the data flow.

An unconnected transformation is not connected to other transformations in the mapping.

It is called within another transformation, and returns a value to that transformation.

Aggregator TransformationAggregator Transformation

The Aggregator is an active transformation. The Aggregator transformation allow us to perform aggregate calculations, such as averages and

sums. The Aggregator transformation is unlike the Expression transformation, in that we can use the

Aggregator transformation to perform calculations on groups. The Expression transformation permit us to perform calculations on a row-by-row basis only. We can use conditional clauses to filter rows, providing more flexibility than SQL language. The Integration Services performs aggregate calculations as it reads, and stores necessary

data group and row data in an aggregate cache.Components of the Aggregator Transformation Aggregate expression Group by port Sorted input Aggregate cache

Aggregate Expression An aggregate expression can include conditional clauses and non-aggregate functions. It can

also include one aggregate function nested within another aggregate function, such as. MAX( COUNT( ITEM )

Aggregate Functions The aggregate functions can be used within an Aggregator transformation. We can nest one aggregate function within another aggregate function. AVG COUNT

Conditional Clauses

We use conditional clauses in the aggregate expression to reduce the number of rows used in the aggregation. The conditional clause can be any clause that evaluates to TRUE or FALSE.

Null Values in Aggregate Functions

When we configure the Integration Service, we can choose how we want the Integration Service to handle null values in aggregate functions. We can choose to treat null values in aggregate functions as NULL or zero. By default, the Integration Service treats null values as NULL in aggregate functions.

A Filter transformation is an Active Transformation. We can filter rows in a mapping with Filter transformation. We pass all the rows from a source transformation through the Filter transformation and

then enter a filter condition for the transformation. All ports in a Filter transformation are input/output, and only rows that meet the condition

pass through the Filter transformation.

Joiner TransformationJoiner Transformation

A Joiner transformation is an active transformation. Joiner transformation is used to join source data from two related heterogeneous sources

residing in different locations or file systems. We can also join data from the same source. The Joiner transformation joins sources with at least one matching column. The Joiner transformation uses a condition that matches one or more pairs of columns

between the two sources.

We can use the following sources

Two relational tables existing in separate databases. Two flat files in potentially different file systems. Two different ODBC sources. A relational table and an XML source. A relational table and a flat file source. Two instances of the same XML source.

Defining the Join Type

Join is a relational operator that combines data from multiple tables into a single result set. We define the join type on the Properties tab in the transformation. The Joiner transformation supports the following types of joins.

• Normal • Master Outer• Detail Outer• Full Outer

Joiner Transformation Tips

Perform joins in a database when possible. Join sorted data when possible. For an unsorted Joiner transformation, designate the source with fewer rows as the master

source. For a sorted Joiner transformation, designate the source with fewer duplicate key values as

the master source.

Lookup Transformation Lookup Transformation

A Lookup transformation is a passive transformation.

Use a Lookup transformation in a mapping to look up data in a flat file or a relational table, view, or synonym.

We can import a lookup definition from any flat file or relational database to which both the PowerCenter Client and Integration Service can connect.

We can Use multiple Lookup transformations in a mapping.

The Integration Service queries the lookup source based on the lookup ports in the transformation.

It compares Lookup transformation port values to lookup source column values based on the lookup condition.

Sequence Generator TransformationSequence Generator Transformation

A Sequence Generator transformation is a passive transformation. The Sequence Generator transformation generates numeric values. We can use the Sequence Generator to create unique primary key values, cycle through a

sequential range of numbers. The Sequence Generator transformation is a connected transformation. The Integration Service generates a value each time a row enters a connected

transformation, even if that value is not used. When NEXTVAL is connected to the input port of another transformation, the Integration

Service generates a sequence of numbers. When CURRVAL is connected to the input port of another transformation, the Integration

Service generates the NEXTVAL value plus one. We can make a Sequence Generator reusable, and use it in multiple mappings. Web might reuse a Sequence Generator when we perform multiple loads to a single target. If we have a large input file we can separate into three sessions running in parallel, we can

use a Sequence Generator to generate primary key values. If we use different Sequence Generators, the Integration Service might accidentally

generate duplicate key values. Instead, we can use the reusable Sequence Generator for all three sessions to provide a

unique value for each target row.

Sequence Generator TransformationSequence Generator Transformation

Sequence Generator Ports The Sequence Generator provides two output ports:

NEXTVAL and CURRVAL. Use the NEXTVAL port to generate a sequence of

numbers by connecting it to a transformation or target. We connect the NEXTVAL port to a downstream

transformation to generate the sequence based on the Current Value and Increment By properties.

Connect NEXTVAL to multiple transformations to generate unique values for each row in each transformation.

We might connect NEXTVAL to two target tables in a mapping to generate unique primary key values.

NEXTVAL to Two Target Tables in a Mapping We configure the Sequence Generator transformation as

Join data originating from the same source database. Filter records when the Integration Service reads source data. Specify an outer join rather than the default inner join Specify sorted ports. Select only distinct values from the source. Create a custom query to issue a special SELECT statement

for the Integration Service to read source data.Default Query of Source Qualifier For relational sources, the Integration Service generates a

query for each Source Qualifier when it runs a session. The default query is a SELECT statement for each source

column used in the mapping.

Stored procedure TransformationStored procedure Transformation

A Stored Procedure is a passive transformation

A Stored Procedure transformation is an important tool for populating and maintaining databases. Database administrators create stored procedures to automate tasks that are too complicated for standard SQL statements.

Stored procedures run in either connected or unconnected mode. The mode we use depends on what the stored procedure does and how we plan to use it in a session. we can configure connected and unconnected Stored Procedure transformations in a mapping.

• Connected: The flow of data through a mapping in connected mode also passes through the Stored Procedure transformation. All data entering the transformation through the input ports affects the stored procedure. We should use a connected Stored Procedure transformation when we need data from an input port sent as an input parameter to the stored procedure, or the results of a stored procedure sent as an output parameter to another transformation.

• Unconnected: The unconnected Stored Procedure transformation is not connected directly to the flow of the mapping. It either runs before or after the session, or is called by an expression in another transformation in the mapping.

Update StrategyUpdate Strategy

An Update Strategy is an active transformation . When we design a data warehouse, we need to decide what type of information to store in

targets. As part of the target table design, we need to determine whether to maintain all the historic data or just the most recent changes.

The model we choose determines how we handle changes to existing rows. In PowerCenter, we set the update strategy at two different levels.

Within a session Within a mapping

Setting the Update Strategy We use the following steps to define an update strategy To control how rows are flagged for insert, update, delete, or reject within a mapping, add

an Update Strategy transformation to the mapping. Update Strategy transformations are essential if we want to flag rows destined for the same target for different database operations, or if we want to reject rows.

Define how to flag rows when we configure a session. We can flag all rows for insert, delete, or update, or we can select the data driven option, where the Integration Service follows instructions coded into Update Strategy transformations within the session mapping.

Define insert, update, and delete options for each target when we configure a session. On a target-by-target basis, we can allow or disallow inserts and deletes.

Router TransformationRouter Transformation

A Router transformation is an Active Transformation. A Router transformation is similar to a Filter transformation because both transformations

allow us to use a condition to test data. A Filter transformation tests data for one condition and drops the rows of data that do not

meet the condition. However, a Router transformation tests data for one or more conditions and gives us the option to route rows of data that do not meet any of the conditions to a default output group.

If we need to test the same input data based on multiple conditions, use a Router transformation in a mapping instead of creating multiple Filter transformations to perform the same task.Creating a Router Transformation

In the Mapping Designer, click Transformation > Create. Select the Router transformation. Enter a name for the transformation and Click OK.

The naming convention for router transformation is

Reusable TransformationReusable Transformation

Reusable transformation is a transformation that can be used in multiple mappings. We can create most transformations as a non-reusable or reusable but only create the

External Procedure transformation as a reusable transformation . When we add a reusable transformation to a mapping, we add an instance of the

transformation. The definition of the transformation still exists outside the mapping.

Methods To Create Reusable Transformation

Design it in the Transformation Developer

In the Transformation Developer, we can build new reusable transformations.

Promote a non-reusable transformation from the Mapping Designer

After we add a transformation to a mapping, we can promote it to the status of reusable transformation. The transformation designed in the mapping then becomes an instance of a reusable transformation maintained elsewhere in the repository.

Changes that can invalidate mapping

When we delete a port or multiple ports in a transformation.

When we change a port datatype, you make it impossible to map data from that port to another port using an incompatible datatype.

When we change a port name, expressions that refer to the port are no longer valid.

When we enter an invalid expression in the reusable transformation, mappings that use the transformation are no longer valid. The Integration Service cannot run sessions based on invalid mappings

Java TransformationJava Transformation

The Java transformation is a Active/Passive Connected transformation that provides a simple native programming interface to define transformation functionality with the Java programming language.

You create Java transformations by writing Java code snippets that define transformation logic.

The Power Center Client uses the Java Development Kit (JDK) to compile the Java code and generate byte code for the transformation. The Integration Service uses the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to execute generated byte code at run time.

Steps To Define Java Transformation Create the transformation in the Transformation Developer or Mapping Designer. Configure input and output ports and groups for the transformation. Use port names as

variables in Java code snippets. Configure the transformation properties. Use the code entry tabs in the transformation to write and compile the Java code for the

transformation. Locate and fix compilation errors in the Java code for the transformation.

Working With Flat FilesWorking With Flat Files

To use flat files as sources, targets, and lookups in a mapping we must import or create the definitions in the repository .

We can import or create flat file source definitions in the Source Analyzer or create flat file target definitions in the Target Designer or import flat files lookups or use existing file definitions in a Lookup transformation.

When we create a session with a file source, we specify a source file location different from the location we use , when we import the file source definition.

Mapplet DesignerMapplet Designer

A mapplet is a reusable object that we create in the Mapplet Designer. It contains a set of transformations and we reuse that transformation logic in multiple mappings.

When we use a mapplet in a mapping, we use an instance of the mapplet. Like a reusable transformation, any change made to the mapplet is inherited by all instances of the mapplet.

Usage of Mapplets

Include source definitions

Use multiple source definitions and source qualifiers to provide source data for a mapping. Accept data from sources in a mapping

If we want the mapplet to receive data from the mapping, we use an Input transformation to receive source data.

Include multiple transformations

A mapplet can contain as many transformations as you need. Pass data to multiple transformations

We can create a mapplet to feed data to multiple transformations. Contain unused ports

We do not have to connect all mapplet input and output ports in a mapping

Mapplet DesignerMapplet Designer

Limitations of Mapplets We cannot connect a single port in the Input transformation to multiple transformations in

the mapplet.

An input transformation must receive data from a single active source.

A mapplet must contain at least one Input transformation or source definition with at least one port connected to a transformation in the mapplet and same applies for output transformation.

When a mapplet contains a source qualifier that has an override for the default SQL query, we must connect all of the source qualifier output ports to the next transformation within the mapplet.

We cannot include PowerMart 3.5-style LOOKUP functions in a mapplet.

We cannot include the following objects : Normalizer transformations, Cobol sources, XML Source Qualifier transformations, XML sources and targets, Pre- and post- session stored procedures and other mapplets.

Data ProfilingData Profiling

Data profiling is a technique used to analyze source data. PowerCenter Data Profiling can help us to evaluate source data and detect patterns and exceptions. we can profile source data to suggest candidate keys, detect data patterns and evaluate join criteria.

Use Data Profiling to analyze source data in the following situations. During mapping development . During production to maintain data quality. To profile source data, we create a data profile. we can create a data profile based on a

source or mapplet in the repository. Data profiles contain functions that perform calculations on the source data.

The repository stores the data profile as an object. we can apply profile functions to a column within a source, to a single source, or to multiple sources.

We can create the following types of data profiles.

Auto profileContains a predefined set of functions for profiling source data. Use an auto profile during mapping development.

Custom profileUse a custom profile during mapping development to validate documented business rules about the source data. we can also use a custom profile to monitor data quality or validate the results of BI reports.

Debugger OverviewDebugger Overview

We can debug a valid mapping to gain troubleshooting information about data and error conditions.

Debugger used in the following situations

• Before we run a session

After we save a mapping, we can run some initial tests with a debug session before we create and configure a session in the Workflow Manager.

• After we run a session

If a session fails or if we receive unexpected results in the target, we can run the Debugger against the session. we might also run the Debugger against a session if we want to debug the mapping using the configured session properties.

Create breakpoints. Create breakpoints in a mapping where we want the Integration Service to evaluate data and error conditions.

Configure the Debugger. Use the Debugger Wizard to configure the Debugger for the mapping. Select the session type the Integration Service uses when it runs Debugger.

Run the Debugger. Run the Debugger from within the Mapping Designer. When we run the Debugger the Designer connects to the Integration Service. The Integration Service initializes the Debugger and runs the debugging session and workflow.

Monitor the Debugger. While we run the Debugger, we can monitor the target data, transformation and mapplet output data, the debug log, and the session log.

Modify data and breakpoints. When the Debugger pauses, we can modify data and see the effect on transformations, mapplets, and targets as the data moves through the pipeline. we can also modify breakpoint information.
