Custom PowerCenter Mappings and Workflows Rules and Guidelines

When you develop PowerCenter workflows, consider the following rules and guidelines:
  • Before you develop workflows for
    Data Integration Hub
     in PowerCenter, verify that the
    Data Integration Hub
     PowerCenter client and server plug-ins are installed and registered to the PowerCenter repository. For details, see the
    Data Integration Hub
     Installation and Configuration
    Guide.
  • Name and store PowerCenter entities for custom mappings in different folders with a different naming convention from the naming convention of PowerCenter entities for custom mappings.
  • You can use user-defined session parameters in custom workflows and define their values in
    Data Integration Hub
     or in a parameter file. You can manage the values of user-defined session parameters in
    Data Integration Hub
     in the Forms Designer. You cannot manage the values of built-in session parameters in
    Data Integration Hub
    . For more information about session parameters, see the section "Working with Session Parameters" in the
    PowerCenter Advanced Workflow Guide
    .
    Data Integration Hub
     does not support session parameters in the format
    $InputFile_$$CustomVariable
    .
  • If you publish from a database source, you cannot use the following special characters in table names and in column names of a publication target: space ( ), dash (-), and period (.). The publication process replaces the characters with underscores (_).
