Rules and Guidelines for Exporting to PowerCenter

Rules and Guidelines for Exporting to PowerCenter

Due to differences between the Developer tool and PowerCenter, some Developer tool objects might not be compatible with PowerCenter.
Use the following rules and guidelines when you export objects to PowerCenter:
Verify the PowerCenter release.
Verify that the objects you want to export from the Developer tool are compatible in the target PowerCenter release.
Verify that object names are unique.
If you export an object to a PowerCenter repository, the export process replaces the PowerCenter object if it has the same name as an exported object.
Verify that the code pages are compatible.
The export process fails if the Developer tool and PowerCenter use code pages that are not compatible.
Verify precision mode.
By default, the Developer tool runs mappings and mapplets with high precision enabled and PowerCenter runs sessions with high precision disabled. If you run Developer tool mappings and PowerCenter sessions in different precision modes, they can produce different results. To avoid differences in results, run the objects in the same precision mode.
Verify the mapping type associated with the logical data object.
When you export a logical data object read mapping and a logical data object write mapping to PowerCenter, the read mapping appears under the mapplet in the Designer. The export process ignores the write mapping associated with the logical data object.
When you export a logical data object write mapping to PowerCenter, the export process fails.
Copy reference data.
When you export mappings or mapplets with transformations that use reference tables, you must copy the reference tables to a directory where the PowerCenter Integration Service can access them. Copy the reference tables to the directory defined in the INFA_CONTENT environment variable. If INFA_CONTENT is not set, copy the reference tables to the following PowerCenter services directory:
$INFA_HOME\services\<Developer Tool Project Name>\<Developer Tool Folder Name>
