1
The first question is what is the difference between Informatica Power Center and Informatica Cloud?
2
So the answer is Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, nothing but IACS is a cloud-based integration platform,
3
which is nothing but I-PaaS.
4
IACS helps you to integrate, synchronize all data and applications residing on your on-premise and cloud environments.
5
But when it's coming to power center it only supports on-premise environment applications.
6
IACS provides similar functionality as power center but in a better way and you can access via the internet.
7
Hence in IACS there is no need to install any client applications on your personal computer
8
or server all the supported applications can be accessed from the browser
9
and tasks can be developed through browser ui
10
if you buy the license then informatica gives you the credentials
11
so using that credentials you can directly go to the informatica url
12
and you can log in through browser and you can develop your code
13
but in power center the client applications needs to be installed
14
on your server in iacs we can request the features based on our usage like
15
if you use only sql server as your source
16
and target you can get the license to create these connections only not for all
17
or if you
18
if you need like a file watcher job then you can
19
procure only the file watcher license like this based on your
20
usage like your requirement you are going to procure the license
21
for the particular features
22
but in power center you need to procure the license based
23
on the edition irrespective of whether you use a certain feature or not
24
the second question is where does the metadata get stored in informatica cloud
25
so all the metadata gets stored in informatica cloud repository in
26
iacs unlike power center all the information in informatica cloud is stored on the server maintained by the informatica
27
and the user does not have an access to the repository
28
database hence it is not possible to use any sql query on metadata tables to retrieve the information like informatica power center
29
for example suppose i have one connection i want to replace that connection with other connection
30
like my database is going to change
31
so at the time normally in power center we can write one query to get the information like
32
that connection where we have used in which mappings we have used
33
which sessions we have used but here like in in iacs we we cannot do like
34
that because everything like it is going to store in informatica repository and that repository is going to maintained by Informatica.
35
So normally user does not have an access to Informatica repository in IACS.
36
So the various metadata information that gets stored in IACS repository includes like source
37
and target metadata and connection information and mappings schedules and logging
38
and monitoring information everything like it is stored it is going to stored in IICS repository.
39
And the third question is what is the difference between a union transformation in Informatica cloud
40
and in Informatica power center like in in in Informatica power center
41
and also earlier versions of informatica cloud the union transformation allows only two groups to define in it hence
42
if three different source groups needs to be mapped to the
43
target then the user must first create a union for two groups first
44
and then whatever the outcome is coming from
45
that first union we are going to we are going to union with the group with another union union two so
46
we need two unions if we have three groups of data to to unite
47
and in latest version informatica cloud it is supporting multiple groups
48
so all the input groups can be handled in a single union transformation and the fourth question is explain dynamic linking
49
so informatica cloud enables us to establish a target file at
50
runtime we can use this feature only in mappings in target we can select the create new at runtime option
51
so we can choose a static file name
52
that can be displaced with with a new file whenever the
53
mapping operates with the same name we can also create a dynamic file name such as
54
that whenever such that whenever the mapping runs we can create a file with the new name
55
and the fifth question is what is what is what system variables are available in IACS to perform incremental loading so normally
56
if you want to perform the incremental loading in power center
57
you need to you need to uh calculate the run time like a last run last successful run
58
or you need to
59
calculate manually like what is the last run date and everything
60
so here uh here like it it is going to provide the two system variables
61
that is like the last run time and last run date
62
so it returns the last time when the task runs successfully
63
and the last run date returns only the last date on
64
which the task runs successfully so these values are stored in informatica cloud server
65
and our cloud repository
66
and it is not possible to override the values of these
67
parameters these parameters only stores the data date time value in um utc time zone
68
and the sixth question is how to pass data from one mapping to other in informatica cloud integration
69
so the data can be passed from one mapping to other mapping informatica cloud
70
through a task flow using parameters so the mapping task first mapping task
71
which passes the data should have an in-out parameter defined using set variable functions so this normally
72
we can we can use this set variable function in expression level to assign the value to the parameter
73
and then in second mapping task
74
which receives the data should either have an input parameter
75
or in-out parameter defined in mapping to read the data passed from upstream task.
76
The first question is explain about Informatica Cloud Runtime Environment.
77
Informatica Cloud Runtime Environment is the execution platform that runs Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services assets such as tasks and task flows.
78
You must have at least one runtime environment in each organization so that users in the organization can run tasks.
79
A runtime environment consists of one or more secure agents.
80
Basically it is the server upon which your data gets staged while processing.
81
You can choose either to process via the informatica servers or your local servers which stays behind your firewall.
82
Informatica supports following runtime environments.
83
Those are informatica cloud hosted agent, serverless runtime environment and informatica cloud secure agent.
84
The second question is what is the Informatica Cloud Secure Agent?
85
Informatica Cloud Secure Agent is a lightweight self upgrading program
86
that you need to install in your server
87
and register it with Informatica Cloud Repository using the unique registration code provided for your organization account.
88
It runs all tasks and enables secure communication across the firewall between your organization and Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services.
89
The third question is what is a synchronization task?
90
Synchronization task automates the data synchronization process between a source and target and target.
91
Synchronization helps in maintaining same data between different systems and enables accuracy.
92
A synchronization task can be built easily from the IACS UI by selecting the source
93
and target without use of any transformations like in mappings.
94
You can also use expressions to transform the data according to your business logic
95
or use data filters to filter data before writing it to the targets
96
and use lookup data from other objects and fetch a value.
97
So in synchronization tasks you can use expressions data filters and lookups.
98
Anyone without power center mapping or transformation knowledge can easily build synchronization tasks as UI guides you step by step.
99
The next question is what is a replication task?
100
A replication task allows you to replicate data from a database table or selected sources to a desired destination.
101
By using data replication you can backup or warehouse data and copy data sets.
102
You can choose to replicate all the source rows or rows
103
that changes since the last runtime of task using built-in incremental processing mechanism of replication task.
104
You can choose from three different type of operations when you replicate data to a target.
105
Those are Incremental load after initial full load.
106
Incremental load after initial partial load.
107
Full load each run.
108
The next question is, what is the difference between a synchronization task and replication task?
109
In a synchronization task, you can transform the data before loading it into the target.
110
In a replication task, you can replicate the data from source to target without transforming the data.
111
A replication task can replicate an entire schema and all the tables in it at a time,
112
which is not possible in synchronization task.
113
A replication task comes with a built-in incremental processing mechanism.
114
In synchronization task user needs to handle the incremental data processing.
115
The next question is what is the primary purpose of Informatica Cloud?
116
The primary purpose of Informatica Cloud is to resolve the data integration problem
117
that takes place when we have to move the data from legacy architecture to the cloud based architecture.
118
Through the Informatica Cloud, we can resolve the issue of handling fragmented data inside and outside the firewall.
119
What is the Mapping Configuration Task or Mapping Task in IACS?
120
A Mapping Configuration Task or Mapping Task in IACS is equivalent to the session in the Informatica Power Center.
121
Normally both are same mapping configuration task
122
or mapping task both are same just some people will call it as mapping configuration task.
123
The shortcut is MCT or mapping task the shortcut is MT.
124
When you create a mapping task you must select a mapping to use in the task.
125
Mapping task allows you to process data based on a data flow logic defined in a mapping.
126
Optionally you can also configure parameters that associated with the mapping
127
and also pre and post processing commands
128
and also advanced session properties to boost the performance and also you can configure the task to run on schedule.
129
So we can do scheduling for mapping configuration task.
130
Explained task flow in IACS.
131
Task flow is similar to the workflow in Informatica Power Center.
132
Task flow regulates the execution order of the mapping configuration task or the synchronization task according to the previous task output.
133
To create a task flow you must first create the task and then add them to a task flow.
134
The task flow allows you to run the task sequentially
135
or parallelly and also to make the decision based on the outcome from one task before triggering the next task.
136
What is the difference between a task flow and linear task flow in IACS?
137
A linear task flow is a simplified version of the data integration task flow
138
and it groups the multiple data integration tasks and runs them serially in the specified order.
139
If a task defined in a linear task flow gets failed, you need to restart the entire task flow.
140
There is no option to restart the job from failed task.
141
But in task flow, we have that option.
142
It just allows you to run the tasks parallelly
143
and also it is having some advanced decision making capabilities
144
that allows you to either restart from failed task or skip it when a task fails.
145
The next question is how the Informatica server source the string values in rank transformation.
146
This is very important interview question for PCS Infosys and also I got this question in Informatica.
147
When I attended interview for these organizations I got this question So before going to explain answer for this question,
148
I just wanna explain what is the rank transformation.
149
So what it will do.
150
So the rank transformation is one of the transformation available in Informatica.
151
I have seen this transformation both in IACS and Power Center.
152
It just works like a rank function in the SQL.
153
It just seem like that.
154
It just give the ranking on particular field.
155
which you have selected. In the rank transformation.
156
So and also it just returns either top or bottom values
157
for that particular field on which you are going to sort and give the ranking.
158
It just creates one more port.
159
Rank port.
160
For giving the ranking like 1 2 3.
161
So we can use that rank.
162
code for next transformation for making some logic. If this.
163
If this requirement we have like.
164
If you wanna sort the.
165
Tring fields like string values then that time how informatica source the data.
166
So data integration uses the session sort order configured for the mapping task.
167
So what is the property we have used?
168
What is the value we have given for session sort order property
169
which is existed in the advanced session properties of the mapping task?
170
Based on that it just source the string values.
171
It may be binary or some specific language like Danish or Spanish.
172
If you have some specific requirement like you wanna do sorting on particular language,
173
then you have to change that property.
174
I'll show that where you have to exactly change that property in the next slide.
175
shown in the screenshot you have to open the mapping task
176
there in the schedules you will see in the top sorry
177
bottom you will see advanced session properties right here we have add button
178
so click on add button just it will show the session
179
property list you have to select their session sort order this is the option
180
and select value as session property value as binary
181
or you know whatever the specific language you want spanish dash and off so based on this selection
182
in rank transformation the string values string fields it will sort
183
the next question is can we run power center jobs in informatica cloud this is very important informatica question
184
when the client is having requirement like they are migrating power center jobs to the informatica cloud
185
that time mostly this question they will ask.
186
The answer is yes.
187
There is a power center task available in the informatica cloud
188
where user have to upload the xml file exported from the power center and run the job as a power center task.
189
You can update an existing power center task to use a different power center xml file
190
but cannot make the changes to the imported xml.
191
When you upload a new power center xml file to an existing power center task,
192
the power center task release the old xml file
193
and updates the Power Center task definition based on the new XML file content.
194
Explain what is Pushdown Optimization in Informatica Cloud.
195
Basically this Pushdown Optimization is one of the performance tuning technique in IACS which helps us to execute the
196
SQL statements at database level.
197
The idea behind of this pushdown optimization technique is processing the data on database level
198
because processing the data on database level is much faster and efficient compared to the processing the data in informatica.
199
So the number of interactions between the Informatica and database is going to decrease if we execute
200
or processing the data on database level. So internally
201
if you check this pushdown optimization take sorry option at mapping task level Informatica is going to create internally the SQL statement
202
for transformation logic, how much it can convert that much transformation logic is going to
203
keep in SQL statement and pushed towards either source database or target database or both.
204
So the amount of data transformation logic that can be pushed to the database depends on the database type,
205
transformation logic, and mapping task configuration.
206
Whatever left the transformation logic after creating the SQL statements,
207
whatever the transformation logic, it is not gonna push towards the database, that transformation logic it's gonna,
208
I mean Informatica is going to process at Informatica level.
209
The next question is explain partitioning in Informatica Cloud data integration.
210
First of all you have to know what is partitioning.
211
Partitioning is nothing but enabling the parallel processing of the data through separate pipelines.
212
This is one of the important interview question because interviewer asked like how you can do performance tuning in informatica cloud.
213
What are the techniques we have?
214
So this is one of the techniques
215
and in informatica cloud we have only two types of partitioning methods
216
but in informatica power center we have multiple number of partitioning methods
217
so be carefully understand what are the partitioning methods here in IACS
218
with the partitioning enabled you can select the number of partitions for the mapping
219
then DTM process creates a reader thread transformation thread
220
and writer thread for each partition allow the data to be processed concurrently
221
so that we can reduce the execution time of the task.
222
And there are two major partitioning methods supported in IACS one is key range partitioning.
223
How it will works means it distributes the data into multiple partitions based on the partition key
224
which we have selected and the range of the values defined for it.
225
So what you have to do once you selected the key
226
and partitioning you have to give the partitioning key and also the start and end ranges of the values for that.
227
So that based on that it will segregate the data load.
228
How it will load means by partitioning the key,
229
it just segregate the data to threads and it will execute.
230
And next one is fixed partitioning.
231
Here we can enable for sources which are not relational.
232
So when we use means if the source is not relational
233
that time we are going to use this fixed partitioning
234
and you have to select number of partitions by passing a
235
value after selecting the fixed partitioning in the drop down and default value will be none.
236
If you are not selecting any number of partitions then the default value will be none.
237
The next question is how to invoke Informatica Cloud tasks based on a file event.
238
To trigger tasks based on a file event Informatica Cloud provides a component called file listener.
239
A file listener listens to the files on a defined location.
240
Suppose I have one requirement like there is a folder.
241
In that folder if any new file has created or updated or deleted then my task has to trigger.
242
If there is nothing happen, there is no file event occurs, then it should not run.
243
If only any file event occurs, follows to trigger that task.
244
For this requirement, I'm going to create one file listener with a specific folder and a file pattern.
245
File pattern means the file name pattern we have to mention in
246
that file listener and the specific folder means the monitoring folder like in
247
which folder we are looking that file has to come
248
or updated or deleted that folder we have to mention in that file listener.
249
Then if any file event occurs like new file has arrived
250
or any update or delete has happened to
251
that particular file pattern of a file then it's gonna notify back
252
so that my task is going to trigger if any event has occurred.
253
The next question is include all incoming fields from an upstream transformation except fields with dates what should you do?
254
This is very basic IACS question
255
so to configure like this first of all we have to configure two field rules in a transformation.
256
First one use all field rule to include all fields coming from upstream transformation
257
and then create a fields by data types rule to exclude fields by data type
258
and there you have to select date and time as the data type to exclude from incoming fields.
259
You understood right?
260
First one you have to create one include fields with a rule all fields
261
and the next one you have to create exclude fields with fields by data types rule.
262
So that there you have to give what data type you wanna exclude.
263
So date and time, the fields which are coming with date and time data type.
264
Those fields it's gonna exclude from coming incoming fields.
265
The next question is what is the difference between the connected and unconnected sequence generated transformation in IACS?
266
sequence generator can be used in two different ways in Informatica Cloud.
267
One with incoming fields disabled and other with incoming fields not disabled.
268
The difference between the sequence generator with incoming fields enabled
269
and disabled is when next valve field is mapped to the multiple transformations.
270
Suppose the sequence generator with incoming fields not disabled,
271
then it generates the same sequence of numbers for each downstream transformation.
272
And if a sequence generator with incoming fields disabled,
273
will generate unique sequence numbers for each downstream transformation.
274
You understood right?
275
The next question is what is Informatica Cloud Debugger?
276
Informatica Cloud Debugger helps you preview data at any point in a mapping for troubleshooting the errors in data integration mappings.
277
So this is one of the troubleshooting technique in Informatica Cloud.
278
To run the Informatica Cloud Debugger, mapping should be valid up to the selector transformation.
279
consider a scenario suppose i have i built sorry i built a mapping
280
but the output of the mapping is not as i expected
281
so i wanna check my transformation logic where the data is not processing correctly actually the output
282
or some um the mapping is running but my logic is somewhere it's incorrect.
283
I'm unable to find out by seeing that mapping logic.
284
I wanna check data preview so that I can understand where my transformation logic is incorrect.
285
So for that I'm not going to create any temporary target to view
286
how much sorry how the data transformed at any particular transformation in a mapping.
287
I am going to use this Informatica debugger so that you can identify or preview.
288
Sorry, you can preview data at any point in the mapping instead of creating the temporary target.
289
What is data masking?
290
The data masking mechanism enables you to stop exposing sensitive data to non-production environments.
291
Using data masking rules, you can define the logic to mask or replace selected columns with duplicate values.
292
I will tell one simple realistic example real time suppose
293
if we have some personal ident personally identifiable information
294
which means pii information like email address phone number bank account number
295
or government issued id number social security number this type of pia information if we have
296
in our data and that real data we need to test in QA or in dev environment.
297
That time we cannot showcase that personal data of customer or user to the unauthorized people.
298
So we have to mask this type of data in lower environments.
299
That time we use this data masking technique to mask those type of information columns in lower environments.
300
The next one is explain discovery IQ.
301
Discovery IQ is one of the module in IACS like data integration,
302
application integration and administrator or monitor.
303
Likewise there is another module discovery IQ as shown in the diagram
304
and this discovery IQ gives you a complete overview of the number of processes and jobs in your organization.
305
Using this discovery IQ, you can even get to know more about KPIs like data volumes,
306
successful and failed jobs, etc. You can also perform log analysis by directly downloading from discovery IQ.
307
What is data assessment?
308
The data assessment task in IACS streamlines the process to assess data quality.
309
It also enables you to check things like file completeness,
310
record duplication, field conformances, address validity,
311
etc. You can configure filters on data to get the data that meets requirements.
312
The next question is how does IACS handle last data volumes?
313
IACS handles last data volumes using the techniques of partitioning, pushdown optimization and high speed connectors.
314
Partitioning is the mechanism IACS provides for dividing the data into smaller,
315
more manageable chunks or partitions and process each partition separately.
316
So the idea behind partitioning is if we have bulk load,
317
so we are going to create partitions so that that data is going to segregate into different chunks.
318
And these partitions IAC is going to run parallelly.
319
So it is going to divide the data and separately parallel is going to run that data by creating the separate pipelines.
320
and by using this partitioning we can increase the performance
321
and we can load the data quickly the detailed description of partitioning like types of partitioning
322
and all I explained in the previous video I'm going to give that link in this video description Just go through that.
323
And also I have covered pushdown optimization in that same video.
324
So just go to that video and understand what is partitioning and pushdown optimization.
325
I will give a smaller line for pushdown optimization.
326
Basically this is the concept of executing the transformation logic. in database level.
327
So for transformation logic, IACS is going to create an SQL statement
328
to execute that either in source side database or target side database or both.
329
So how much logic, transformation logic,
330
IACS can keep in SQL statement that much it can write into SQL
331
and this SQL statements are going to execute on database so
332
that we can reduce the number of interactions between in Informatica and database so that the performance is going to increase.
333
The efficiency also going to increase.
334
And the third one is high speed connector.
335
IACS offers high speed connectors for various data sources enabling faster data transfer.
336
The next question is in which scenario you have used synchronization task.
337
This is one of the important IACS interview real-time question because if interviewer
338
wants to know you are really worked on IACS in previous organization
339
if you kept something like I worked on synchronization task in your resume then these type of questions he will shoot.
340
So you have to know the answer for this question.
341
Normally most of the projects we use the synchronization task to load the data from source to stage tables.
342
If you know the answer
343
if you really worked on synchronization task in previous projects then
344
tell your answers answer where you used in your project if you don't know then give this answers to answer to interviewer
345
how can you schedule the mapping iac provides scheduler also So by using Informatica IACS scheduler,
346
you can schedule the mapping task.
347
If a workflow got failed in prod environment, can we do the code change for that failed mapping in production environment
348
or in dev environment mention the step by step approach
349
basically this is the question interviewer asked when they are taking you for informatica support
350
that time this type of questions he will shoot to know basic things you know or not so if
351
workflow got failed in the prod environment.
352
First, we have to check the reason for failure.
353
If suppose any code change is required, then only we can, I mean,
354
mitigate that failure, then we have to do that change in dev environment.
355
And again, we have to do unit testing and then deploy the code to test and then move to prod.
356
We should never develop or change the mapping in test or prod environment.
357
The next question is have you parameterized in IACS?
358
This is also a real time question.
359
If you worked on IACS, if you parameterized in previous projects,
360
then you tell your answer.
361
Otherwise, if you don't know,
362
then tell like, yes, I have used and I have created two types of parameters.
363
One is input parameters.
364
And another one is in-out parameters.
365
This input parameters I have used to parameter as the source target lookup connections.
366
And in-out parameter I have used to create the mapping variables and mapping parameters.
367
Basically this in-out parameter I have used for incremental loading purpose.
368
Tell answer like this.
369
Thank you.
370
Thank you.
371
Thank you.

- הצלילים של “sh” ו-“zh”: partition /pɑɹˈtɪ.ʃən/, replication /ɹɛplɪˈkeɪʃən/, optimization /ˌɑptəmaɪˈzeɪʃən/, configuration /kənˌfɪɡ.əˈɹeɪ̯.ʃən/, credential /kɹɪˈdɛnʃəl/
- מילים ארוכות — שימו לב להטעמה: parameter /pəˈɹæm.ə.tɚ/, repository /ɹɪˈpɒz.ɪ.t(ə.)ɹɪ/, replication /ɹɛplɪˈkeɪʃən/, optimization /ˌɑptəmaɪˈzeɪʃən/, configuration /kənˌfɪɡ.əˈɹeɪ̯.ʃən/
צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:
- /w/ — שפתיים מעוגלות, לא /v/: firewall /ˈfaɪ(ə)ɹˌwɔl/, workflow /ˈwɝkfloʊ/, watcher /ˈwɑ.t͡ʃɚ/, query /ˈkwɪɹ.i/, likewise /ˈlaɪkˌwaɪz/
- /æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: parameter /pəˈɹæm.ə.tɚ/, mapping /ˈmæpɪŋ/, transform /tɹænsˈfɔɹm/, parameterize /pəˈɹæm.ɪ.təɹ.aɪz/, calculate /ˈkælkjʊleɪt/
- /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: partition /pɑɹˈtɪ.ʃən/, parameter /pəˈɹæm.ə.tɚ/, repository /ɹɪˈpɒz.ɪ.t(ə.)ɹɪ/, replication /ɹɛplɪˈkeɪʃən/, configuration /kənˌfɪɡ.əˈɹeɪ̯.ʃən/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
