Shared objects ( if any) listed in the (Informatica_Deploymentlist_Project_Name.xls) are verified for the
What would be the method of migration (i.e., object copy, folder copy, repository copy or deployment group)
Are the objects which are to be deployed valid? (Objects are valid and all objects are checked in)
Are the correct versions of the objects to be deployed available?
Do the required permissions exist for the objects and on folders to be migrated?
Are there any dependencies between the objects to be deployed which needs to take care of?
Parameter file provided
Informatica command line scripts for workflow execution provided
Has the consistency of the database connection names across environments been maintained? (If not,
connections in session has to be changed)
Developer team has highlighted findings based on testing carried out, experience and problem faced during

Restart instructions; and
Special handling instructions.
Have the mappings/workflows been sufficiently tested? Have they run in Test with no errors at least twice, preferably longer?
Have DDL scripts moved to production? Is there additional objects/DDL to move to production for source or lookup tables?
Optional, but critical: Have the business users reviewed the test data and approved the results?
Has a folder comparison been done between the source and target repositories? Have all folder differences been explained as being necessary?
Have reasonable error checks been coded for in the error handling routines?
Has the default session configuration been used/altered for this folder? If there have been changes, list the changes.
Has the fail parent option been checked?
Have all test settings such as Collect Performance Data been disabled?
Is there sequence generators that need the current values adjusted? What should the current value be?
Have any reusable objects been used? Have they been documented?
Have post-session emails been set up and are the proper email addresses used?(Indicate whether a failure is critical or not.)
Have relational connections been reviewed and are they correct?
