Static cache Dynamic cache

U can not inert or update the cache. U can insert rows into the cache as u pass to the target

The informatic server returns a value from The informatic server inserts rows into cache
the lookup table opr cache when the condition when the condition is false.This indicates that
is true.When the condition is not true,the
the row is not in the cache or target table.
informatica server returns the default value
U can pass these rows to the target table.
for connected transformations and null for
unconnected transformations.
34.Which transformation should we use to normalize the COBOL and relational sources?
Normalizer Transformation.
When U drag the COBOL source in to the mapping Designer workspace,the normalizer
transformation automatically appears,creating input and output ports for every column in the source.
35.How the informatica server sorts the string values in Ranktransformation?
When the informatica server runs in the ASCII data movement mode it sorts session data usingBinary
sortorder.configure the seeion to use a binary sort order,the informatica server caluculates the binary value of each string
and returnspecified number ofrowswith the higest binary values for the string.
36.What r the rank caches?
During the session ,the informatica server compares an inout row with rows in the datacache.If the input row out-
ranstored row,the informatica server replaces the stored row with the input row.The informatica server stores group
informin an index cache and row data in a data cache.
37.What is the Rankindex in Ranktransformation?
The Designer automatically creates a RANKINDEX port for each Rank transformation. TheInformatica Server
uses the Rank Index port to store the ranking position for each record in a group. Forexample, if you create a Rank
transformation that ranks the top 5 salespersons for each quarter, the rankindex numbers the salespeople from 1 to 5:
38.What is the Router transformation?
A Router transformation is similar to a Filter transformation because both transformationsallow youto use a condition
to test data. However, a Filter transformation tests data for one condition and drops therows of data that do not meet the
condition. A Router transformation tests data for one or more conditionsand gives you the option to route rows of data that
do not meet any of the conditions to a default output group.
If you 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.
39.What r the types ofgroups in Router transformation?Input groupOutput group
The designer copies property information from the input ports of the input group to create a setof output ports for
output group.
Two types of output groups

User defined groups

Default group
U can not modify or delete default groups.
40.Why we use stored procedure transformation?For populating and maintaining data bases.
42.What r the types of data that passes between informatica server and stored procedure?
3 types of data
Input/Out put parameters
Return Values
Status code.
