Name of Solution:

Informatica Developer : Reduce Complexity Example

Business Requirement:
An Informatica Developer mapping that demonstrates how to use a mapplet to simplify the implementation of complex transformation logic.

Solution URL:
https://community.informatica.com/solutions/2453

Supported Versions:
Informatica Developer 9.5.1

Description:
Often a series of complex logic causes a transformation process to become unwieldy and cumbersome to maintain. Debugging and documenting such a complex mapping can be difficult. Mapplet can simplify and streamline complex and repetitive logic. This mapping template illustrates a method of using a PowerCenter mapplet to manage the complexity of certain logical procedures. Points: The mapping in this template uses a mapplet to calculate and rank company sales by customer zip code. The mapplet only expects two input ports (Curstomer_ID, Order_ID) via a mapplet input transformation. It encapsulates the two lookups used to determine customer zip code and sales order amount. Thus most complex mappings can be simplified using mapplet by combining transformation that together constitutes a modular functionality. Also, if needed this mapplet can be used in any other mapping that needs the same functionality.

2. Execute the script into your database to create source tables, test data and target table. 3. Open mapping in Informatica Developer, observe the mapplet that takes two input fields, does the processing within mapplet and provides output fields.

4. Observe the mapping, use of mapplet simplifies the mapping as it provides only input fields and receives the output fields. All complex processing is done by mapplet. 5. Validate and Run the Mapping.
