• The Mapping Properties and Descriptions are explained below.

STEP-10: Copy the dvoct.jar file from the DVO installation directory to the Informatica Server

• For this illustration, the dvoct.jar file is created in the D:\Informatica9.1.0\DVO\powercenterlibs directory. This file needs to be copied to a folder in the root directory on the machine that hosts Informatica Services. This activity can be performed by the administrator of the Informatica Server if the Informatica Server is installed on a separate machine. In this illustration the dvoct.jar file is copied to the C:\Informatica\DVO folder on the local machine.

STEP-11: Updating the JAVA SDK Classpath for the PowerCenter Integration Service

• This activity can be performed by the Informatica Administrator. • Login to the Informatica Administrator tool. From the navigator, select thePowerCenter Integration

Service PowerCenter_IS and click the Processes tab. • Edit the Service Process Properties > General Properties and edit the JAVA SDK Classpath to

enter the path to the dvoct.jar file on the Informatica Server as shown below. If there is a value in JAVA SDK Classpath, add a semi-colon after the classpath before the dvoct.jar file path is added.

STEP-12: Adding the Informatica Repository that contains the folder where DVO will create mappings, sessions and workflows for tests to be executed

• Launch the DVO client as shown below.

• Right-Click on INFA Repositories and select Add Repository to add the Informatica

Repository PowerCenter_RS that contains the DVO folder created in STEP-4.

• If another Informatica Repository is to be added later, ensure that the Contains Target Folder is

set to false because only one repository can have a target folder. In this illustration, the target folder is DVO created in the PowerCenter_RS repository.

• The below message is displayed after the PowerCenter_DVO repository is added. Click OK to refresh the folders and connections in the PowerCenter_RS Informatica PowerCenter repository.

• After the refresh is complete, the below message is displayed.

• The folders in the PowerCenter_RS Informatica PowerCenter repository will be displayed under

the PowerCenter_DVO repository in the DVO client as shown below.

The DVO client is setup for testing and validating data loaded by mappings created in the PowerCenter_RS repository.
