Exporting a Mapping with a Data Processor Transformation to PowerCenter
Exporting a Mapping with a Data Processor Transformation to PowerCenter
When you export a mapping with a Data Processor transformation to PowerCenter, you can export the objects to a local file, and then import the mapping into PowerCenter. Alternatively, you can export the mapping directly into the PowerCenter repository.
In the
Object Explorer
view, select the mapping to export. Right-click and select
Export
.
The
Export
dialog box appears.
Select
Informatica
PowerCenter
.
Click
Next
.
The
Export to PowerCenter
dialog box appears.
Select the project.
Select the PowerCenter release.
Choose the export location, a PowerCenter import XML file or a PowerCenter repository.
Specify the export options.
Click
Next
.
The Developer tool prompts you to select the objects to export.
Select the objects to export and click
Finish
.
The Developer tool exports the objects to the location you selected. If you exported the mapping to a location, the Developer tool also exports the Data Processor transformations in the mapping, as services, to a folder at the location that you specified.
If you exported the mapping to a PowerCenter repository, the services are exported to the following directory path:
%temp%\DTServiceExport2PC\
The export function creates a separate folder for each service with the following name:
<date><serviceFullName>
If the transformation includes relational mapping, a folder is created for relational to hierarchical mapping, and a separate folder for hierarchical to relational mapping.
Copy the folder or folders with Data Processor transformation services from the local location where you exported the files to the PowerCenter ServiceDB folder.
If you exported the mapping to a PowerCenter import XML file, import the mapping to PowerCenter. For more information about how to import an object to PowerCenter, see the
