Exporting an Object to PowerCenter

When you export mappings, mapplets, or logical data object models to PowerCenter, you can export the objects to a file or to the PowerCenter repository.

Before you export an object, set the compatibility level to the appropriate PowerCenter release. Validate the object to verify that it is compatible with the PowerCenter release.

If you export objects to a file, you can import objects from the file into the PowerCenter repository.

If you export reference table data, copy the reference data files to the PowerCenter directory structure on the machine that hosts Informatica services. The reference data file locations must correspond to the reference table object locations in the Model repository.

For example, copy the reference data files to the following location:

<PowerCenter installation directory>\services\<Model repository project name>\<Folder name>
